Looking for a Bonfire alternative?
Bonfire is a well-regarded sourcing and evaluation platform, particularly strong in North American public sector procurement, where it helps teams run structured, transparent evaluations. Its strengths are clear, but for UK organisations the compliance context is different, and UK-specific notice publication and Procurement Act 2023 workflows matter.
eSourcingData is a UK source-to-contract platform covering tender creation, structured evaluation, award and contract and supplier management. It was built for the Procurement Act 2023 from the ground up, so UK compliance is native, and Find a Tender and Contracts Finder publication can be automated to help meet transparency obligations.
For UK public sector, private sector, consultancies and charities, the appeal is a platform designed for local rules with support included. Setup typically takes 48 hours, pricing is bespoke, and software is paired with hands-on procurement support from a team with 20+ years of combined UK procurement experience.
