RFQs, bids and awards, run in the open.

Tendering manages vendor RFQs, bids and awards for larger works and contracts — switched on per organisation from the App Store and connected to the contractors you already track, for a defensible, transparent procurement trail.

Big works deserve more than a single quote. Tendering runs a structured process: scope a request, invite vendors to bid, compare the responses side by side, and award the work with a clear record of why. Each tender carries its scope, the invited contractors, their bids and the award decision.

Built on the shared toolkit, it offers list, board and calendar views, custom fields for evaluation criteria, import/export, and document attachments for the scope and submissions. Because it sits beside Contractors, you invite vendors from your existing register — and contractors use Orveya free.

What Tendering does

• Scope an RFQ — Define the works, criteria and closing date, and attach the full scope document to the tender.
• Invite from your register — Pull invited vendors straight from Contractors so bids tie back to compliant, known suppliers.
• Compare bids — See submitted bids side by side — price, inclusions and notes — for a fair, like-for-like comparison.
• Award & record — Record the award decision and the reasons, leaving a defensible trail for the committee or owner.
• Closing dates — Track each tender's closing date on the calendar so the window is clear to every invited vendor.
• Transparent trail — Every invitation, bid and decision is logged — procurement you can stand behind at audit.

Frequently asked questions

How is Tendering turned on?

An administrator enables it per organisation from the App Store. It sits beside Contractors so you can invite vendors immediately, with seats free.

Where do invited vendors come from?

From your Contractors register, so every invited bidder is a known, compliant supplier and their bids tie back to that record.

Can I compare bids fairly?

Yes — submitted bids appear side by side with price, inclusions and notes so you can evaluate like-for-like against your criteria.

Does it leave an audit trail?

Every invitation, bid and award decision is logged with reasons, giving a transparent, defensible procurement record for committees and audits.
