I already have a Business Development Manager, why do I need this system?

Your Business Development Manager will either have to sign up to hundreds of bidding opportunity sites and sift through them weekly to make sure tenders are not missed, or they will have to sign up to another tracking site which requires them to have extensive knowledge of CPV codes in order to get the best from the systems. These systems have hundreds of thousands of opportunities on from all industries, UK wide. Opportunities will be missed.

Construction Tenders will allow your Business Development Manager to free up time to work on proactive business development.

What is the payment method used?

askabidwriter.com takes payment by the card provided to us, in advance from the date you signed up to the system. If a payment is missed, access to the system is temporally blocked until a new payment method has been input.

Can I get a copy invoice for my records?

Yes, absolutely, you can find your invoices in the ‘Payments’ section of the portal.

What is the difference to Construction Tenders from every other system out there?

We are specifically for the Facilities sector, meaning you don’t have to search through hundreds, if not thousands, of irrelevant opportunities to find suitable opportunities for your business, saving time and money.

One of our biggest selling points is the proactive opportunities we post, that you will not find on any other tender website in the country. If you have a Business Development Team who are new to selling, they will not need to understand CPV codes to use our system.
