Tender portals are an unavoidable part of the tender process, and they come in many different formats.
We share our top tips on how tender preparation and pre-bid activity can maximise results for a high-quality, competitive bid.

In the past, hard copy tender submissions meant that you were unable or restricted in submitting clarification questions to purchasing authorities, as it would result in an unfair competitive advantage.
