Suretly

S-001  ·  Cover sheet

The certificate lapsed three days before the bid opened.

Nobody was watching the spreadsheet. Suretly watches it — bid bonds, renewal deadlines and compliance paperwork for contractors bidding on more than one job at a time.

Register of deadlines As of 16 Oct 2026

S-101  ·  General notes

Three things expire, and all of them cost you the job.

1 A bid bond that is not in the envelope means the bid is not opened. There is no late submission and no appeal.

2 A certificate that lapsed quietly puts you out of compliance on every job that needs it, and owners check before anyone sets foot on site.

3 An aggregate line you have already used means the next job cannot be bonded. Finding that out on bid day is finding out too late.

S-201  ·  Schedule of works

Six things, each currently a tab in somebody's workbook.

Mark Item Description Remarks
A-1 Bid pipeline Every invitation from receipt to award. Deadlines carry a time, not just a date, because bid openings are to the minute and a late bid is not opened. 10 stages
A-2 Bond register Bid, performance, payment, maintenance, supply, subdivision and license bonds. Penal sum, surety, obligee, form, expiry — with the premium worked from the rate. 8 types
A-3 Document vault Certificates, licenses, tax forms and safety records, with coverage limits and EMR recorded on the row rather than buried in a PDF. 30 types
A-4 Bonding capacity Outstanding penal sums against each surety's single-project and aggregate lines, so you know whether the next job fits before you chase it. 75% / 90% alerts
A-5 Renewal calendar Bid dates, bond expiries and document renewals on one month grid. The thing a spreadsheet cannot do. Month + list
A-6 Renewal notices One digest per company at 90, 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day out. Configurable, and silent when there is nothing to say. 16 notices

S-301  ·  Legend

It speaks the language.

Penal sums, obligees, AIA forms, Treasury listings, EMR, Miller Act thresholds. Getting the vocabulary wrong is obvious to anyone who bids work, so it was checked rather than guessed.
