A focused Proactis alternative for UK procurement.
If you are weighing up Proactis, it helps to know what a leaner, PA23-native alternative looks like. eSourcingData is a UK source-to-contract eSourcing platform that combines modern software with hands-on procurement support. It works for public sector, private sector, consultancies and charities, on one multi-client capable system.
Looking for a Proactis alternative?
Proactis is a well-known procurement and spend-management suite with broad functionality. Some teams look for an alternative because they want something more focused on source-to-contract, designed around the Procurement Act 2023, or delivered with hands-on procurement support rather than software alone. The right fit depends on the breadth of the problem you are solving.
eSourcingData concentrates on the sourcing, evaluation, award and contract-management journey and was built for PA23 from the ground up. Many established platforms began under the earlier PCR 2015 regime and have adapted to the new Act; that is a general market observation, not a claim about any specific product. For teams whose priority is compliant, modern eSourcing under PA23, a purpose-built platform can feel more direct.
The service model is a key difference. 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, and offers bespoke pricing with free trials and pilots for eligible organisations. Setup typically takes 48 hours.
