Fair, transparent public procurement

The lifecycle
One platform for the whole journey
From first draft to final award — every event moves through the same clear, auditable stages.
Multi-user workspaces
Government bodies create an organisation workspace with role-based access for bid managers and collaborators.
Full tender lifecycle
Run PQQ, ITT, ITN and RFQ stages in one place, with multiple submission rounds and lots.
Sign-off before launch
Every document and pricing table is signed off — and permanently locked — before an event goes live.
Multi-lot bidding
Tenderers pick which lots they're bidding for and price only what applies to them.
Dynamic schedules
Build the exact table your job needs
Bill of materials, schedule of rates, staff, equipment — every schedule has its own columns and its own formula. Materials get a single rate. Equipment gets delivery, collection, and an hourly rate. Staff get separate day, night and weekend rates. You define it once; every tenderer prices against the same structure.
Equipment / plant schedule
| Item | Hourly | Delivery | Collection | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20-tonne excavator hire | 50.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 | 8 | 600.00 |
| 10-tonne dumper hire | 32.00 | 70.00 | 70.00 | 6 | 332.00 |

Reference library
Pull items straight from the standard schedules
Pick NRM, RMM or CESMM and browse down through groups and subgroups to the exact line item — code, description and unit fill in automatically, branching the same way they do in a real SOR.

Scoring
Weighting rolls all the way up
Weight individual items within a schedule, weight schedules against each other across the event, and split the fee formula into overhead, profit, or any custom component — each with its own weighting. Tenderers never see any of it; they just price.

Fair evaluation
Anonymised until the event is decided
While an event is live or under evaluation, bid managers see only a pseudonym — never a company name. Queries, responses and the audit trail all respect the same rule. Identities are only revealed once the event is awarded or closed.

Scenarios
Benchmark a real job across every schedule
Pull items together from across the event's schedules into a single representative build, specify the quantities that job needs, and see each tenderer's cost computed from their own submitted rates — a genuine like-for-like comparison.
One benchmark build, priced per tenderer
Audit trail
Every rate change, who made it, and when
Draft saves and submissions are all recorded — full pricing history for every tenderer on every schedule, ready to stand behind if a decision is ever challenged.
Full pricing trail, kept for every event
Queries
Ask questions without revealing who's asking
Tenderers raise queries under their event pseudonym. Bid managers can answer privately, or share the answer with every tenderer at once for a level playing field.
