Tender management software, start to finish.
Run the entire tender process in one place: publish and advertise, invite suppliers, manage clarifications and Q&A, evaluate fairly and award - with a complete audit trail. Built for the Procurement Act 2023, for public and private sector buyers, consultancies and charities.
What is tender management software?
Tender management software manages the full lifecycle of a tender: preparing and publishing the requirement, inviting or openly advertising it, handling supplier questions and clarifications, receiving submissions securely, evaluating them and awarding - all with a record of exactly what happened.
eSourcingData covers the whole process end to end, from a quick RFQ to a full ITT and the PA23 Competitive Flexible Procedure. Notices publish to Find a Tender and Contracts Finder automatically, clarifications are logged and visible to all bidders, submissions lock at deadline, and evaluation and award produce a defensible, exportable audit trail.
It suits public bodies running compliant tenders, private-sector buyers wanting structure, consultancies running tenders for multiple clients, and charities running proportionate exercises.
