A UK-focused alternative to GEP.
GEP, including GEP SMART, is a global procurement and supply-chain platform aimed at large enterprises. eSourcingData is a UK source-to-contract eSourcing platform built for the Procurement Act 2023, quicker to stand up and paired with hands-on procurement support. For UK teams that want focused, compliant sourcing rather than a global suite, it is a strong alternative to consider.
Looking for a GEP alternative?
GEP offers a broad global procurement and supply-chain platform, with GEP SMART covering source-to-pay across large, often multinational organisations. Its scope suits enterprises that want unified procurement and supply-chain capabilities across many functions and regions. For a UK team focused on compliant tendering and contracting, that breadth can be more than is needed.
eSourcingData concentrates on source-to-contract: tender creation, structured evaluation, award and supplier and contract management. It was built for the Procurement Act 2023 from the ground up, so UK compliance is native, with automated Find a Tender and Contracts Finder publication to support transparency obligations.
For public sector, private sector, consultancies and charities, the draw is a lighter, quicker platform 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.
