Passive waiting is the least effective way to manage your bid pipeline — active tracking lets you respond quickly to queries or opportunities.

How To Approach This

Check your bid dashboard regularly rather than only when you remember to, especially as deadlines and evaluation dates approach.
Note any status changes or queries raised by the buyer promptly, since delayed responses to clarification requests can affect your bid's outcome.
Keep a simple external log of bids submitted, their deadlines, and current status, so nothing falls through the cracks across multiple simultaneous bids.
If a bid's status seems stalled beyond a reasonable timeframe with no communication, it's reasonable to proactively follow up through appropriate channels.

How often should I check bid status?

Regularly enough that you'd never miss a query or deadline — daily during active bid periods is a reasonable habit.

What if a bid status doesn't update for a long time?

This can be normal during evaluation, but if it seems unusually prolonged, following up is reasonable.
