See 100% of what's still to let
Letting is a coverage page on your baselined budget: every cost code shows Revised, Committed, in progress, and Remaining, so "what is still to let?" is the page, not a report you rebuild.
Pay
Letting that shows exactly what's still to let against your budget
Once you've won the job, Letting shows 100% of your committable budget, cost code by cost code, against the number you locked, so you can send scope out for pricing, let each package the moment you decide, and watch the still-to-let figure fall as the trades come home.

Letting reads the $4,412,000 baselined budget as its denominator and reuses the budget’s committed figures verbatim, so coverage never drifts from cost control. A code counts as let the moment any committed instrument carries it — $3,089,950 committed to date, $1,322,050 still to let.

Letting shouldn't live in a spreadsheet off to the side of the budget it's meant to cover
Nothing shown to subs but the scope
A package carries scope descriptions and quantities only, never a dollar figure, and there's no cost-visibility toggle that could expose your budget.
Deciding is committing
There's no award step: hit Let on a quote and it becomes a draft subcontract in one step, cost codes suggested and provenance linked back.
How it works
Everything letting needs, on the budget
From what's still to let, to a signed commitment against the code.

Connected to the whole job
Letting is the commitment seam of Win to Pay
Where your RFQs were about winning the work, priced against the estimate, Letting is about protecting the margin on the work you've won, priced against the baselined budget. It reads the Revised budget as its denominator and reuses the budget's committed figures verbatim, so coverage never drifts from cost control. Deciding to let a quote raises a subcontract; letting directly can raise a subcontract or a purchase order; and because a code counts as let the moment any committed instrument carries it, negotiated commitments still tick the coverage. Letting starts empty by design, a fresh solicitation against a different anchor, not a carry-over of your tender quotes.

Frequently asked questions
No. There's no award step in letting. Once you've won the work, deciding and committing are the same moment: hit Let on the quote and it becomes a draft subcontract in one action. Awarding is a tender concept, on the bidding side of the job.
No. A package carries scope descriptions and quantities only, never a dollar figure, and there's no cost-visibility setting that could expose your budget. The budget lines a package covers are kept for your reference and never shown to subs.
No. Letting starts empty. Tender bids were priced against the estimate before you won; letting is a fresh solicitation against your baselined budget, so those prices aren't carried across.
Yes. Letting is anchored to a baselined budget, so it needs that number locked. A project without a baselined budget is guided into the budget setup rather than shown an empty workbench.
Yes. A cross-project letting rollup shows coverage, committed, in progress, and still to let, per project against each baselined budget. It's a read-only reporting view; you compose packages and let from inside each project.
