Run more tenders, increase savings and maximise opportunities

Get the best value from your budget with our eAuction capabilities. eAuctions reduce manual processes so that procurement teams can run more events on a regular basis. eAuctions also improve objectivity, transparency and auditability in the supplier selection process.

For suppliers, eAuctions reduce the sales cycle time since award decisions can be made very quickly. These awards are made not by price alone, but other factors including quality and service levels. This enables each supplier to create their own competitive advantage.

Choose the type of eAuction based on your unique needs

Price Auction

Enables suppliers to see the leading bid for the total basket. By comparing their own quote, suppliers can identify the price reduction required to attain the winning position.

Ranked Auction

The bid price of the winning supplier is hidden and suppliers can only see their own ranking and the last bid amount, encouraging each supplier to price aggressively

Line Item Auction

Suppliers will only see if they are winning on a product line-by-line basis but are never aware of their overall ranking or the leading bid. This helps to ensure each supplier provides the very best price on every line.

Mix & Match Auction

Choose the features of any of our auctions to suit your objectives. We leave it up to you to decide how you’d like suppliers to submit their pricing for each event.
