Tenders
Host a tender with your own eligibility rules, receive comparable credit-backed bids from verified businesses, and award it with the decision on record.
A connect & procure tool. You know roughly what you want; this is how you approach someone about it. The other families are market signals — how you get approached — and market presence.
A tender here is the whole process, not a notice about one happening elsewhere. A verified business publishes the requirement, sets who may bid, receives bids in a structure it defined, and awards the work.
How it works
- A business hosts a tender — scope, eligibility rules, bidding window
- Only businesses meeting the eligibility rules can bid, and bidding costs credits
- Bids arrive in the structure the host defined, so they are comparable
- The host compares, awards, and contact details are revealed on acceptance
- Unsuccessful bidders are refunded most of their bid cost
Two sides
Hosting one
Building the requirement, setting who may bid, comparing what comes back and awarding it on record.
Bidding on one
Checking you qualify, deciding whether it is worth the fee, and writing something that can be compared.

How a tender progresses
The tender has a state and every bid on it has its own. What each means.
Eligibility rules
The most consequential screen on the form — every rule trades risk against the number of prices you receive.
Budget and payment
Whether to show your budget, and what each choice does to the bids.
Writing a bid
Answering the fields, pricing so the number can be trusted.
How this compares
Tender-alert services aggregate notices published on government portals and sell subscriptions to see them. That is discovery: they tell you an opportunity exists, and the bidding happens wherever it was published.
Private procurement gets none of that structure — most of it is three phone calls and a decision nobody wrote down. This tool gives an ordinary business the same shape public procurement has: fixed criteria, comparable bids, a recorded award. See Bidancer vs TenderTiger.
