FlexApp E-Bidding & Sourcing

Fair, fully recorded tenders and quotations — bids stay sealed until the deadline and are scored on agreed criteria.

FlexApp E-Bidding & Sourcing

In short

FlexApp E-Bidding & Sourcing is an online tendering app that runs quotations, proposals and tenders from supplier vetting and invitation through sealed bidding and weighted scoring to award.

Works on its own — connects to the rest of FlexApp when you want it to.

Who it is for

Procurement heads, tender committees and management who must show that purchasing decisions are fair and transparent.

The problem it solves

Paper and email tenders are slow, hard to audit, and open to bids being seen before the deadline.

What you get

01

Bids no one can see early

Bids are locked and cannot be opened until the official opening step.

02

Faster tenders

Invitations, questions and submissions all happen online.

03

Decisions you can defend

Several evaluators score against weighted criteria, with technical and price proposals assessed separately.

04

A stronger supplier base

Performance comparisons, corrective actions and supplier rotation keep suppliers accountable.

How teams use it

Tender committee · public body

Opening bids with two officers

Paper tenders relied on sealed envelopes and a manual opening record. Now bids stay locked in FlexApp until the opening step, which can require two named officers, and every step is recorded for audit.

Supplier questions answered for everyone

Questions from bidders used to come by phone and email, and not every bidder heard the answers. Clarifications are now handled online, so every invited supplier sees the same information.

Scoring that stands up to challenge

Award decisions were hard to explain to losing bidders. Each evaluator now scores against the agreed weightings, technical and price proposals are opened separately, and the result is passed to purchasing.
