Approve the estimate
The proposal is written from this number, so it cannot disagree with it

Suppliers notified, not chased
The wait, invertedRather than asking for a quote and waiting a week, the engine tells the supplier the price it has already carried and asks them to object. The bid never stops for them, and anything unanswered stays flagged as unconfirmed.

Priced proposal out
Then save it so the next bid is sharper.

Every saved bid anchors the next enquiry. Record whether each one was won or lost, and from the third closed bid the engine starts telling you where your margin is costing you work.
What saving a bid actually does
The next enquiry is scored against every saved bid. The three closest are put in front of the model with their real line items, unit costs, lead times and final price, and it is told to anchor to them rather than estimate from scratch.
Once three bids carry an outcome, your win rate and your average margin on wins against losses are calculated and fed into the margin recommendation on the next bid.
Any bid marked won becomes a project reference in the tender automatically, with client, scope and year.
The win rate shown on the pricing screen comes from here.
