Open the project’s Bids page and press New demand. Direct hire beside it is for a vendor you already know.

Give the job a title, choose the domain (the trade) and describe the scope of work. The project is filled in for you, and its city is where vendors are matched.

Under Job details, choose fixed price or hourly and your budget range, then add how long the job will take and any other details. Vendors bid with labour and materials quoted together.
