The tender pipeline problem

Top

Keeping a steady pipeline of commercial construction work is tough when invites come in waves or dry up without warning. And when you do have options, too many tenders look good at first glance, costing you hours before you know if they’re right for your business. Without a clear way to spot the right opportunities and the right Builder relationships, your pipeline fills with noise instead of projects you can actually win.

“A lot of my day is spent on E1. It’s an intuitive platform providing quality, up-to-date tender information. With multiple search functions, it’s not often that I can’t find what I’m looking for but when that happens, the team are always readily available. I love that it’s continuously evolving, and making specification and construction more efficient!”
