FAQ

You will be given access to an online system, which you can update at any time with keywords, locations and budgets of tenders you want to see.  This site is updated daily with new opportunities so it’s important you keep checking so nothing is missed.  However, you will also be sent an email alert each time relevant tenders are uploaded.

You will also be assigned an account manager, who can work with you as little or as much as you want.  Some clients prefer their account manager to inform them of suitable opportunities to bid for, whilst others prefer to use the system alone.  We’re happy to help in whichever format you prefer.

Your initial contract is for 12 months, after that you can cancel at any point with 30 days notice.

The system automatically showcases tenders based on your preferences.  Every member of the system has a dedicated account manager. If your account manager feels you are missing an opportunity because you’ve not registered an interest, they will call and inform you of this and help you change your system preferences if needed.

Annually, we cold call hundreds of thousands of businesses, to build relationships with business owners and purchasing managers.  This ensures we are building brand awareness of being a viable option for sourcing new suppliers.  We also have a full marketing team proactively promoting Hudson Discover to key buyers

Your business development manager will either have to sign up to hundreds of tenders sites and sift through them weekly to make sure tenders are not missed. Alternatively, they will have to sign up to another tracking site which requires extensive knowledge of CPV codes to get the best from the systems they use.  These systems have thousands of tenders presented from all UK wide industries.  Opportunities will be missed.

Facilities Tenders allows your business development manager to free up time and work on proactive development strategies.

Lastly, it is important to understand that we will help your business development team, we won’t compete with them.

Facilities Tenders takes payment by the card provided to us, monthly or annually 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 inputted.

Yes, absolutely, you can access your invoices from the ‘payment’ section of the portal.

We have been developed specifically for the Facilities Management sector, meaning you don’t have to search through hundreds, if not thousands of irrelevant tenders 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.

Our dedicated account managers will look after you, get to know your business, what you are trying to achieve, and ensure you do not miss any opportunities you may wish to go for. We are an extra resource for your sales team.

This depends on demand, but we will work hard to ensure you see new proactive and reactive opportunities every week that are relevant to your business.

We’re different in the respect that we don’t send you hundreds of emails that you’ll get fed up with overtime.  We send you one email bulletin, each day when relevant tenders have been uploaded.

To maximise the use of our system we propose that you login to the portal and check at least once per week that you’re not missing anything, and of course your account manager will do the same.

All customers are given a landline number to contact us Monday-Friday 9-5 and a support email is available 7 days per week 9-5pm to answer any queries. A representative will talk you through the set up process if you feel you need support here.
