Overview
ConQuest Online Enquiries (OLE) is a secure web portal that allows main contractors to distribute tender documents to subcontractors and collect bid intentions. As a subcontractor, you will receive an email invitation each time a contractor sends you an enquiry package.
The portal gives you access to:
Project and trade package details
All associated tender documents for download
The ability to record your intention to quote or decline
A full history of all enquiries sent to your company
📌Note: No account or password registration is required. Access is granted automatically via a secure one-time code sent to your email address each time you log in.
Step by Step Walkthrough
Step 1 - Receive the Invitation Email
When a contractor sends you a tender enquiry through ConQuest, you will receive an email from: [email protected]
The email will contain:
The name of the contractor and the project
The trade package name and code
The tender due date
A link to view the enquiry in the portal
⚠️Important: Do not share this link. It is unique to your company and provides direct access to the tender documents.
Step 2 - Open the Portal and Enter Your Email
Click the link in the email, or go directly to https://ole.conquestenquiries.com. You will be taken to the login page.
Step 3 - Verify Your Identity (OTP)
Check your inbox for an email from [email protected] with the subject line containing your 6-digit verification code.
⚠️Important: You have 10 attempts to enter the correct code within 15 minutes. After that, you will need to request a new code.
Step 4 - MFA Verification (Secured Tenders Only)
Some tender packages are marked as Secured by the contractor. These require an
additional layer of verification using a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) app such as
Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator.
First time (MFA Setup) | Returning users |
You will be shown a QR code. Scan this with your authenticator app to register the ConQuest portal as a new account.
Once scanned, enter the 6-digit code shown in the app to complete setup. | Open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code shown for the ConQuest entry. |
📌Note: The MFA code refreshes every 30 seconds. If the code expires before you submit, wait for
the next code to appear in your app and use that one instead.
Step 5 - Your Enquiries List
After logging in you will see the Your Enquiries screen. This lists all tender packages that have been sent to your email address.
Column | What it means |
Client Name | The name of the main contractor who sent the enquiry |
Enquiry / Project | The project reference and name |
Trade Name | The specific trade package you have been invited to quote for |
Trade Code | A short code identifying the trade package |
Sent Date | The date the enquiry was issued to you |
Status | New (not yet opened), Viewed, Intending to Quote, or Declined |
Security | A padlock icon indicates this is a Secured tender requiring MFA |
Actions | Click View Details to open the tender package |
You can search across all columns using the search bar at the top of the list. You can also sort any column by clicking on the column header.
Step 6 - View Tender Details
Click the View Details button on the right side of any row to open the tender package. A panel will slide open showing the full details for that enquiry.
The Trade Details panel contains:
Company | The main contractor's company name |
Project | The project code and full description |
Trade | The trade name and code |
Enquiry Name | The name given to this enquiry by the contractor |
Reply To | The email address to use if you need to contact the contractor about this enquiry |
Status | Your current intention status for this package |
Sent Date | When the enquiry was sent |
Due Date | The deadline for submitting your quote |
Last Published | When the tender documents were last updated |
Type | Invitation to Tender (ITT) or Amendment (if documents have been revised) |
Step 7 - Record Your Intention
At the top of the Trade Details panel, you will see two buttons: Intend to Quote and Decline to Quote. Use these to let the contractor know whether you intend to submit a bid.
📌Note: Recording your intention does not submit a quote. It only informs the contractor of your plans.
Your actual quote or bid must still be submitted through your usual process or as instructed by the contractor.
Step 8 - Download Documents
The Documents section of the Trade Details panel lists all files attached to the tender
package. Documents are grouped by classification (e.g. Drawings, Specification, Bill of Quantities).
📌Note: Documents are served via secure, time-limited links. If a download fails or the link expires, close and reopen the Trade Details panel to refresh the links.
Step 9 - Send History
If the contractor has sent you multiple versions of the same enquiry (for example, an original ITT followed by an amendment), the Send History section will appear below the details area.
Click on any entry in the send history to expand it and view the message that was sent with that version, including any custom subject line or message text from the contractor.
📌Note: An Amendment badge (orange) indicates the contractor has updated the tender documents since the original invitation. Always check the send history to ensure you are working from the latest version.
