How do electronic tenders work?

Ok, we are going to put a little spark to this entire roll of electronic tenders, because, let's be honest, the original text is fine to fall asleep. There goes my version, much more real:

Electronic tenders-that are, the famous e-talifications roll-are basically the logical evolution of doing procedures with less papers and fewer headaches. Nobody wants to lose their lives by printing a hundred pages or rowing in windows. Who has time for that? Therefore, now everything is done online. And it is not just for fashion: you save time, everything is more transparent (that is, less scams) and you save a good ticket and stationery.

How does this work? Easy. There are digital platforms where anyone, governments included, can hang their calls. Suppliers, companies and even the fellow, if they leave it, can get there, see what there are and present proposals from the comfort of their sofa. Everything moves through the platform: publish the offer, you upload your proposal, and if you are lucky (and good prices), you take the contract. If not, then to keep trying.

Everything starts when a public office decides that something lacks: from pens to an entire bridge. They upload the call with all the details: what they want, how they want it, and what they have to do to win it. Interested companies are recorded (mandatory roll, of course), check the info and, if they see that they can prepare their proposal digitally. No lacerated envelopes or trips to the administration, all at one click.

Then, the public body starts to review all the offers that arrive. Choose the one that fits best: quality, price, requirements ... the winning combo. The result, like everything in this story, is announced on the same platform. Winners and losers find out instantly. Neither calls, nor letters, nor tension drums.

Advantages? A handful: less traps, less dumb expenses, and everyone can see how the matter is going. But be careful, not everything is pink: you need to have a good connection, know how to use the platform and, if you are one of those who fight with Excel, because you still have to learn a couple of things.

If you are a company and you are interested in the topic, you better be up to date with the latest technological stories. It is not just about having a decent laptop; You also need your people to move in these systems. A silly mistake and goodbye contract.

And, in case it was not enough competition before, now with the digital there are more companies in the race. So your proposal has to be Top: good price, quality and fulfill everything they ask. If you go halfway, or try because they pass you over.

Of course, do not trust: even if everything is easier online, preparing a good proposal is still a work. You have to plan, read well what they ask for and make sure your offer stands out between the pile. If not, it's like throwing a bottle into the sea and waiting for someone to fish.

In summary: electronic tenders are the future (in reality, the present), but you have to know how to move and not fall asleep in the laurels. Put the batteries, because here the one who does not spabila does not win.
