Changes to the bid cycles
The bidding cycle will start on a Tuesday but additional properties may be added on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Each cycle will be 6 days
- Start on Tuesday will end on Sunday
- Start on Wednesday will end on Monday

Bristol City Council will continue to advertise all their properties on a Tuesday. Housing Associations can choose any day to advertise.
Consider changing the way you bid and check for new properties on a day later in the week. It does not matter when you place your bid as your current position in the shortlist will only apply when the cycle is closed.
You will still have 3 bids each week to place on advertsied properties. This means you can place a bid on any property in any cycle but the count of bids will be from Monday to Sunday.
Please think carefully about the bids you are placing and take note of any additional criteria required for the property you are interested in.
For instructions on how to place a bid please refer to our How to bid online user guide
