How a tender runs
TendoGate manages small tenders from invitation to award. Create the tender, invite suppliers, receive sealed bids, open all bids after the bid submission deadline, evaluate the bids and select the successful bid.
- 1
Create the tender
Define the subject of the tender, the deadline and the person responsible.
- 2
Invite suppliers
Each supplier receives a personal invitation link by email.
- 3
Receive sealed bids
Bids stay sealed. No buyer and no other supplier can read them before the opening.
- 4
Open and evaluate
All bids are opened at once, and the opening is recorded in the audit trail.
Sealed means sealed
Bids are withheld at the source, not just hidden on screen.
- Withheld, not hidden
- Bid prices and documents are not released to the buyer or to any other supplier until the opening. There is no screen where they could be seen early.
- Opening is a deliberate, recorded action
- Bids open only when the buyer performs the opening after the deadline. Who opened them, and when, goes into the audit trail.
- The deadline is final
- The deadline is kept by TendoGate, not by the bidder's device. A late bid is refused.
For buyers and suppliers
For buyers
Run your organisation's tenders with user roles, permissions and a full audit trail. Buyer accounts are created together with us; there is no public sign-up.
For suppliers
The link to a public tender can be used with any account. An invite-only tender is visible only to the suppliers it was sent to. In both cases you can ask questions and submit a sealed bid before the deadline.
