Tender & Procurement
Technology plays an important part on the way in which we procure FM services today. The constant challenges faced in the FM space for reducing costs and increasing efficiency, whilst simultaneously managing all risks and maintaining compliance in an agile way that meets the new ways of working, through and beyond Covid-19 requires solutions which address these challenges and the increasing demands of facility management.
Following 25 years of procuring FM contracts across all sectors we can offer an optimum solution within FM Navigate – Tender & Procurement portal.

Overview
FM Navigate – Tender & Procurement Management is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform which allows buyers and buying organisations to procure FM services vias a variety of methods within a) private sector procurement or b) public sector. Whilst the public sector approach adheres to the Public Sector Procurement Regulations and Rules, the private sector allows a degree of flexibility whilst maintain a robust and transparent default status. This module integrates seamlessly with the Supply Chain Management Module so that Suppliers may be invited, reviewed, qualified and vetted via the Supply Chain Management Module and procured via the Tender & Procurement module. Collaborate with your colleagues via the Message Board and externally via a powerful Question and Answers Board.


Features
The Tender & Procurement module offers a rich structure and features which are usually only seen within mature stand-alone e-procurement & e-tender platforms. Twenty-five years of solid FM procurement experience has gone into its development. For the public sector, it offers a secure EU-compliant platform for managing and administering the entire tender process via a secure exchange of documents from tender notice through to appointment. The private sector follows a similar approach but offers greater flexibility for tailoring to specific organisational needs.
