Bid Invites live at https://mybuildx.com/opportunities. The sidebar item is called **Opportunities**, and the page title is **Bid Invites**. They're for General Contractor accounts. A bid invite is a piece of inbound work: a customer request BuildX matched to you, or an invite tied to one of your plan sets.

## What you can do

- Switch **View** between **All**, **Bid Invites**, and **Saved**. Each shows a count.
- Filter by status (**Open**, **Invited**, **Saved**, **Submitted**, **Closed**), by **Trade**, and by **City**.
- Search with **Search Bid Invites**.
- Press **View** to open an invite's details: trade, city, status, budget, due date, customer and plan count.
- Press **Save Bid Invite** in the details to add it to your pipeline.
- Press **Plans** to open the plans drawer.

## Where bid invites come from

When BuildX routes a customer request to MyBuildX, it matches the request to contractors by trade and location. Each matched contractor gets a bid invite with the status **Invited**, plus a notification. The same request also shows on [Leads](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/leads.md) for the best match.

Rows marked **CNM saved** come from ContractorsNearMe. They're read-only and have no actions.

## Review and save an invite

1. Open https://mybuildx.com/opportunities.
2. Narrow the list with the status, **Trade** and **City** filters.
3. Press **View** on a row. The details window opens.
4. Press **Save Bid Invite**. You see "Bid invite saved to your pipeline." and the row's status becomes **Saved**.
5. Track it from there on the [Bid Board](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/bid-board.md), which shows the same invites by stage.

## Use the plans drawer

1. Press **Plans** at the top of the page.
2. The drawer lists your plan sets with their city and number of active bid invites.
3. Press **Filter by** a city to show only that city's invites, or **Close drawer**.

## Good to know

- There's no form here to submit a bid or price. Price the work in [Estimates](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/estimates-proposals.md) or in [Studio](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/estimate.md), then move the card to **Submitted** on the Bid Board.
- You can't send bid invites to subcontractors from MyBuildX. To compare sub bids, use [bid leveling in Studio](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/bid-leveling.md).
- Discount offers you show to customers are managed in **Settings → Offers**. See [Settings](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/account/settings.md).
