Tendernet
The main idea of Tendernet.com.au is to turn table for buyers: instead of looking for a bargain our users ask vendors to submit their best offers. Anybody (an individual or a business) can post their expressions of interest (requests) in buying goods, services, finding local tradies and arranging business tenders. Vendors can see and respond to requests with their offers. Whether you need a new TV or you want TV installed on your wall you are welcome to place your listing on Tendernet.com.au. We also pool some requests together and ask vendors from our network to submit their best offers based on cooperative purchasing thus getting significant discounts. Users can form their own pools using our forum. The feature can be used not only for purchasing things but also for negotiating better rates, fees, etc. For example, a few people from the same area can create a buyers pool with a view of getting cheaper local gym membership fee or even better mortgage rates. Tendernet.com.au can also be used by smaller business as communication platform for pooling their purchases to match buying power of larger competitors. Such groupings could reduce or even eliminate discrimination in supplier treatment of competing retailers. Businesses are not limited only to group buying schemes. They are more than welcome to place listing on Tendernet.com.au for their procurement needs as even small price difference for say in office cleaning will end in thousands of dollars of additional expense a year. Sellers are more than welcome to use the site for sending offers and sourcing buyers. We offer numerous search options to help them. However, they are not allowed to put sale ads on our board. Offers received are not binding and if you can negotiate better deal with vendor directly please feel free to do so. Unlike some other sites Tendernet.com.au offers and will offer its services FREE of charge and neither buyers or sellers are required to pay a cent.
