How a multiple negotiated tender works in Tenpu
A multiple negotiated tender is essentially a short, streamlined process: invite, inform, assess, award. The real work is not the steps themselves, but keeping track of everything surrounding them. In Tenpu, you work through the steps in order, and what you do along the way is recorded immediately.
The set-up is already in your documents
You don't start from an empty form. Upload your statement of requirements, your procurement advice or a previous tender, and Tenpu turns it into a first draft: planning, documents and criteria in the structure of a multi-quote procedure. You decide what stays.
Three to five parties, one send-out
Invite parties from one environment. Everyone receives the same documents and the same deadline, and that is fixed the moment you send. For the parties you invite, Tenpu is free and works without eHerkenning (the Dutch business login): even the local business round the corner can take part without setting anything up first.
One round of questions, equal answers
When a party asks a question, you answer it in one place and the answer goes to all parties at the same time. No email threads to trace afterwards: the round of questions itself is your proof of equal treatment.
Evaluate and award
The quotes sit side by side in one overview. Evaluators work in the same system, scores and reasoning are recorded, and the award decision is justified the moment you make it. Not afterwards.
The tender file is already there
What you did in steps one to four is the tender file. There is nothing left to put together. And the complete tender file stays available and searchable, even years later.
Bring your next tender along
In the demo, we will set up your next private competitive tender together. That way, you will see the procedure in your own project, rather than in an example.
