Goals and Challenges
 

Tendersincornwall.co.uk is a procurement website used by public sector organisations to publish upcoming projects for which businesses may tender.  The client had a website when they approached us but were looking to upgrade to something much more comprehensive that could better serve its users.

It was essential that the website:
 

Tenders in Cornwall
  • Was user friendly yet comprehensive providing a smoother more productive procurement process
  • Enhanced the reporting ability of the website in order to improve measurability
  • Allowed selected organisations (buyers) to list/edit/remove (deactivate not delete) projects available for tender at their discretion
  • Featured a comprehensive search facility allowing businesses to search information about relevant opportunities

  • Provided notifications to sellers about recently updated tenders that are relevant to their business sector
  • Improved the quality of tenders by providing advice and supplying resources with regards to procurement processes and seller expectations.


The biggest challenge during the project was creating a highly bespoke extranet and tender market place.  An extensive reporting suite and administration system was built to co-exist alongside the traditional Kentico CMS.
