One eSourcing platform, end to end.
An eSourcing platform brings your whole sourcing process into one connected system: publish, invite suppliers, evaluate, award and manage the contract, with the audit trail built as you go. eSourcingData is that platform - built for the Procurement Act 2023 and used across public sector, private sector, consultancy and charity work.
What is an eSourcing platform?
An eSourcing platform is a single, cloud-based system that runs the whole sourcing process rather than one part of it. Where a point tool might handle just tender publication or just evaluation, a platform connects publishing, supplier onboarding, clarifications, sealed-bid submission, evaluation, award and contract management into one continuous record.
That connectedness is the point. Because every stage lives in the same system, a supplier onboarded for one tender is already known for the next, an evaluation flows straight into award and standstill, and the audit trail assembles itself. There is no re-keying between disconnected tools and no gap where a record can go missing.
eSourcingData is a source-to-contract eSourcing platform built for the Procurement Act 2023. It runs a single organisation or many client accounts from one place, publishes notices to Find a Tender and Contracts Finder automatically, and pairs the software with procurement specialists if you want help running it.

FAQs
What is an eSourcing platform?
An eSourcing platform is a single online system that runs the full sourcing lifecycle - publishing, inviting suppliers, clarifications, sealed-bid submission, evaluation and award - and connects it to contract management and a complete audit trail, all in one record.
What is the difference between an eSourcing platform and an eSourcing tool?
A tool handles one task, such as tender publication or evaluation. A platform connects every stage into one continuous record so data flows between them automatically. eSourcingData is a full platform, though you can start with the parts you need.
Is eSourcingData a cloud eSourcing platform?
Yes. It is a secure, web-based platform with UK data residency, so there is nothing to install and your team can work from anywhere. Setup typically takes 48 hours.
Can one platform run tenders for multiple clients?
Yes. eSourcingData supports multi-client and multi-account working, keeping separate client or department accounts cleanly apart - the model procurement consultancies and shared-service teams rely on.
How much does an eSourcing platform cost?
Pricing is bespoke - tailored to your organisation, users, modules and support - with free trials and pilots for eligible organisations. Request a quote via the contact form.
