A UK-first Mercell alternative for PA23.
Mercell is a broad European procurement platform; UK teams sometimes want a UK-first alternative designed around the Procurement Act 2023. eSourcingData is a UK source-to-contract eSourcing platform pairing modern software with hands-on procurement support, serving public sector, private sector, consultancies and charities on one multi-client capable system.
Looking for a Mercell alternative?
Mercell is a large European procurement and tendering platform operating across several markets. UK teams look at alternatives when they want a UK-first system, a tighter focus on the Procurement Act 2023, or a supplier who pairs software with hands-on procurement support rather than a pan-European rollout. The right fit depends on where your procurement is centred.
eSourcingData was built for PA23 from the ground up and focuses on the UK procurement journey, so notices, transparency duties and evaluation flows reflect current UK rules. Many established platforms began under the earlier PCR 2015 regime, or under other national regimes, and have adapted since; that is a general market observation rather than a claim about any specific product. For UK-centred teams, a purpose-built platform can shorten the path to compliant sourcing.
The support model and setup speed stand out. eSourcingData pairs the software with hands-on procurement support drawn from 20+ years of combined UK procurement experience, automates Find a Tender and Contracts Finder publication, typically sets up in 48 hours, and offers bespoke pricing with free trials and pilots for eligible organisations.
