User Guides

The Consolidated Tenders Platform provides supplier with a central tool, via the Consolidated Tenders Site, to create and maintain a single profile that is viewable to all buyers on all tenant online tendering sites that are powered by the Consolidated Tenders Platform. The supplier profile allows you to present the capabilities of your company to buyers across all of the online tendering sites that are powered by the Consolidated Tenders Platform. One company profile markets your company to buyers in multiple state, territory and local governments.

Buyers are able to search for suppliers using various tools, one of the most effective being keyword searching. All text in your profile becomes keyword searchable, so if you’re an earth mover, whose ISO9001 certified with a 20 tonne excavator and a D9 bulldozer described in your profile, then if a buyer searches for any of those words, you’ll appear in their search results. Refer to the user guide Buyer Keyword Search for more details on how this works.

Almost 33% of all tenders published on Consolidated Tenders are selective or invitation only tenders. So how do you get invited? First you have to get noticed. Get noticed with a stunning, comprehensive profile.
