How it works

  1. 1

    Set up the subscription

    Open Bids and choose “Set up calendar subscription” under Calendar subscription. You get a personal address.

  2. 2

    Copy the address

    Copy the address straight away: it is shown only once. Anyone who knows it sees your deadlines, so do not pass it on.

  3. 3

    Subscribe in your calendar

    Outlook: Add calendar › Subscribe from web. Google Calendar on a computer: next to “Other calendars” click + › From URL. Apple Calendar: on a Mac File › New Calendar Subscription, on an iPhone Settings › Calendar › Accounts › Add Account › Other. Or “Open in calendar app”.

  4. 4

    Renew or end

    “Create a new address” replaces the old one, “End calendar subscription” stops it. Dates already taken over stay in the calendar until you remove the subscription there.

Good to know

  • The subscription is yours. If you leave the company, it ends.
  • Google Calendar only fetches changes every few hours.
  • For a single date, every bid page offers “Deadline to calendar (.ics)”.
