Testimonial

The time it takes to inform tenderers, to distribute questions and answers, to inform all parties regarding addenda, send out tender documents… basically all the steps in the tender process have become much easier to navigate. It’s a central, digital space where all parties have access to the same data and receive clarity about the current tender in progress. It also allows us to set supplier expectations in a consistent and uniform manner.

Excellent. Good examples of real-life situations, backed by intel and experience. Great tools within the curriculum. It helped demystify best practices and guide us towards greater success.

Knowledgeable trainer, great exercises that helped embed learning. Very pleased with the investment. Looking forward to implementing what I have learned. Hope to come back for the Masterclass soon!

Terrific. Easy to digest without sacrificing the details. If we can win one more tender, the workshop has delivered… and I am confident we can win several.

The course skyrocketed my confidence and I’m excited to put what I’ve learned into action.

Seminar was extremely useful in confirming some of our processes and how we can improve in specific areas e.g. customer focus and persuasive writing. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to work/discuss in groups to get different/new perspectives.

The group sessions showed insights into different thinking from other people. I feel more confident in my ability to write bid proposals and create new documents.

The toolset is simple to learn and even organisations that haven’t been exposed to tendering before didn’t have a great deal of difficulty using the tool. TenderLink is efficient, its support is first-class and the technology really helped us ramp up our operations from the ground up. The evaluation was easily configured so the evaluators could only view the program of work relevant to them and were not able to see pricing, therefore removing the influence of price bias.

With the TenderLink web-based system, people publish their tenders online and all bid responses download in a uniform format. This is real efficiency. There’s no double or triple handling.

It was quickly clear to me that if the subscription generated a single job, it would pay for itself and, over time, generate a healthy ROI. I don’t have to do anything: the alerts just come through every day. And even those projects that aren’t relevant to me right now are a good source of market intelligence.

Since using TenderLink, we’ve had bids from further afield, because TenderLink automatically emails our notices to all its suppliers in that space – they don’t have to search for it. This has helped us build a wider catchment of potential contractors.

The TenderLink system is very reliable, simple to use, and very intuitive – they provide excellent guidelines for procurement staff and for suppliers who want to download and upload tender documents.

TenderLink is a great fit for our business. Not only are we able to encourage commercial value, quality and innovation from our suppliers, but our tender notification subscription also enables us to act swiftly on new business opportunities.

Change is inevitable, and with any change you expect some amount of pain. More often than not, it can be extremely disruptive, but the change to the TenderLink system was the least painful experience I have had in my professional life. Whoever designed this program made it easy to use and logical, and it just works. Anyone can create a software program, but TenderLink provides support that, in my experience, is second to none, you are being looked after; it’s a service-driven organisation and they back their product.

We are very happy with their best-value service and their friendly customer service and communication. Now we don’t need to explore any other avenues to find tender notifications; we can just rely on TenderLink for that. We didn’t hesitate to re-subscribe when our first year’s subscription expired, because we don’t want to miss out on any opportunities: the service gives us confidence.

With the tenders we’re involved in, we really only have to win one tender and we’ve covered the cost of our subscription for a long time. If we capture a job we’d have otherwise missed, the TenderLink subscription pays for itself and then some. From that perspective the investment is a no-brainer. That’s why the first email I open every morning is the tender notification email from TenderLink. The service provides us with the catch-all we need to be aware of the market and open opportunities across the country.

We have since submitted three tenders using the format we learnt at your seminar and won all three jobs. All your suggestions have been gratefully received and implemented.

It assisted in confirming we were on the right track and how our tenders and level of detail differ from others in other industries. Dealing with SEM’s and gaining content in a timely and worthy manner going forward should be a much more positive process thanks to this course.

The seminar was very engaging and knowledgable, it has motivated me to apply for more tenders and I know I have the ability to win them!

I have been using TenderLink in my role as Tender Centre Administrator for the past 24 months. Transpacific primarily utilise the tender notification system to keep abreast of upcoming tenders in the waste management, hazardous waste and industrial services sectors.

During this time the team at TenderLink have been instrumental in assisting us with our ability to respond timeously. The administration of TenderLink is professional and responsive. The notification system, easy access to tender information, notice to tender notifications and deadline reminders are instrumental to our success in bidding.
