Updates to Marketplace for Procurement Teams

Marketplace Publish allows you to easily publish new tender opportunities to verified suppliers. You can either share these opportunities with your existing supply chains or discover new contacts from a network of over 50,000 businesses. Furthermore, risk is minimised via Marketplace Publish from the start, as projects are only shared with suppliers pre-qualified to meet your needs.

 

Key improvements in Publish

Based on the feedback from our customers, we have implemented new features to the platform:
