It is a well know fact that completion keeps prices in check. The greater the competition, the lower the price of goods and services will be. The management behind Globfreelance knows this and is the reason for the way their site was structured.
The bidding process for projects on this site are the same as most bidding on municipal projects around the world. A project is a need being fielded out by a provider. This project is then submitted to Globfreelance with a complete description of the project and all the other necessary information that is needed for the experts to judge. This description should include the type of work that is needed to be done, the budget that has been set aside for the specific project, and the time frame when the project should be completed. The provider also has to decide if the bidding is to be an open bidding or closed bidding. The open bidding is when all bidding experts see what other experts are willing to do for the work. The closed bidding is when only the provider knows what each expert’s bid is.
Bids are submitted by registered experts on specific projects. This is after the experts evaluate the work that needs to be completed, the compensation for the project, and the allotted time for its completion. Once a bid is submitted, the information is passed on to the provider. The allotted time for bidding is chosen by the provider, and can only be closed by the provider. Once the bidding is over, the provider will choose from the experts that have submitted a bid. If no bid is acceptable, the provider can reopen the bidding.
The cost effectiveness of bidding on a project is a well established means of obtaining the lowest possible price for a project. In the construction industry where bidding for a project is common, some contractors have been known to underbid other project bidders to win the project and then ask for budget increases during the project. This practice is strictly forbidden in the terms of the agreement that all experts agree to upon registering for the site. This way, once a bid is accepted by a freelancer , it will be the final cost of the project.
When listing a project on Globfreelance, the budget has to be disclosed along with information whether it is a fixed price or variable hourly commission. Since most hourly commissions are associated with long term projects, a small fixed price is recommended on individual projects. There is no cost to place a project on this website. This makes it economical to place each needed project as individual items.
