Tendering for Public Work

If I can be honest, we still haven't been able to get rid of the effects of the dreaded recession. A great way of getting some new business in is tendering, painlessly searching the huge range of tenders that are made available frequently in the OJEU.

If you do your tendering the old fashioned way it can take a while, you have to hunt through the huge OJEU to uncover what you are searching for, and for all you know there may be zero that meets your business at all in that issue.

What's more, if you come across a government tender you would like to register for, the tendering process you are then presented with islong. You have to send off your PPQ and wait for a response. The truth is, you will have to have it mailed out to your home if you don't have it primarily! Internet tendering cuts a lot of corners, the main one being the search functions. You can really narrow down your search to specifically what is relevant to your business, meaning you don't have to waste any time hunting through tenders that you would never actually be applying for. Searches can be performed using CPV codes or keywords. I'm sure you can already see why tendering online is so much more advantageous, but there are a lot more additional benefits on top of this!

The whole tendering process, once you have found a tender you wish to register for, is made relatively easy on the internet. You can easily submit the form straightaway, and then just wait for a response. No more never-ending communications.

Furthermore, if you still feel researching tenders takes up lots of your time, you can register for a paid tender alert service which will send you alerts via email whenever a tender is published that falls under the criteria you define when you set your account up. That way you don't even have to go on the world wide web and search, you merely wait for the tenders to be sent out to you, and if you find a suitable one, you go ahead and begin the tendering activity.

Online tendering is certainly a viable means of finding contracts that you normally would not have a clue about.
