The browser check applies to the following pages:

  • Opportunities
  • Contract Awards
  • Unverified Bid Results

The first time you access a page with Captcha verification it will check your browser. Each subsequent time within the session, the Captcha will retain the validation.

If it fails for any reason, please contact the BC Bid Help Desk for assistance.
