TENDER MANAGEMENT
Managing the sourcing process is critical for every public sector organisation. Our Tender Management Solution is pre-configured to be able to deal with anything from small quotes, all the way up to a full-scale tender, providing a complete audit trail with a secure document repository.
CHALLENGES
Not being able to understand where you are sourcing items from makes it harder to meet sector-specific initiatives, such as increasing the use of local suppliers.
With limited resources, Procurement teams struggle to source, manage and communicate with their organisation’s wide range of suppliers.
Managing the tender process without an efficient solution is time-consuming and prone to error. It also means organisations are unable to track and monitor the full tender process over time.
Maverick employees – those sourcing their own suppliers without the necessary checks – make visibility, traceability and auditability increasingly difficult.
Employees have become frustrated because they are often not included in sourcing the right suppliers for their individual needs.
