BSDQ pricing
Using the BSDQ and TES incurs certain fees for contractors. There are no fees for project owners or industry professionals.
Annual membership fee
$100 + taxes
Contractors committed with the BSDQ must pay an annual fee.
Electronic deposit
$5 + taxes
To submit a bid via the TES, a bidder must first purchase electronic deposits. For each submitted bid, one electronic deposit is required.
Withdrawal Fees
1% of the tender, up to a maximum of $5,000.
The right of withdrawal is a privilege granted to a bidder by the BSDQ, allowing them to withdraw their bid after the closing time and date of the project at the BSDQ, under certain conditions.
For more information on withdrawal, consult the learning center.
Service Contribution
0.25% of the bid amount*
When a bidder obtains a contract after submitting their bid via the BSDQ, they must pay a service contribution. A recipient contractor does not have a service contribution to pay. However, when they award a contract to a bidder, they must inform the BSDQ within 30 days of this award.
*Service contribution fees are currently capped at $500, which may be changed at any time without notice.
