Testimonials
Many of our users have provided recommendations and testimonials regarding the Supply2.gov.uk service. Here are just a few of the comments that have been made:
| "The daily alerts notified us of an opportunity with our local council, for which we expressed our interest. After being successful in the selection process, we now have approved supplier status with Newcastle City Council." Philip Walker |
| "Supply2.gov.uk gives quick access to tender opportunities that could potentially be missed. The service is extremely valuable for helping us grow our business." Dominic Mellor |
| "Supply2.gov.uk has been a useful resource for Blue River in ensuring we are aware of tenders both regionally and nationally, which will prove vital to the growth of our business when expanding into new markets and regions." Alex Grover |
| “We are delighted with the service that Supply2.gov.uk offers. At last we have access to small contract advice put out by government bodies that we actually have a chance of winning. As a small company, it is very difficult for us to compete for contracts larger than £150,000 published in the OJEU when our turnover is less than £100,000. This way we can access small tenders and choose the ones that we feel we may have a chance to win and it is free in our local area.” Estelle Morris |
| “Momentum Associates is a new organisation, and Supply2.gov.uk has helped us to identify a number of potential tenders in our area of expertise. We've learned more about the range of opportunities that are available, about the requirements for application, and the processes involved. We have made two applications so far as a result of information in Supply2.gov.uk's emails.” Rob Watling |
| "Supply2.gov.uk has helped Bridgeall by giving us a valuable view of companies that might be looking for IT services. The service also gives us an insight into the types of services and products that are being sought most frequently. This enables us to focus our marketing campaign on what companies are looking for, rather than what we think they are looking for." David Kerr |
| "The Supply2.gov.uk service has greatly helped Bournemouth University to source lower-value contract opportunities against a wide range of different search criteria. The time saved searching for contract opportunities has enabled us to complete and submit more responses to tenders, many of which have been successful." Dr Martyn Polkinghorne |
| "The best thing about the Supply2.gov.uk service is its reassurance that it's not only large companies that can bid for and win public sector contracts. Although we have yet to bid or win such a contract ourselves, the portal is the resource that keeps us abreast of public sector developments and enables us to keep our hardware procedures and skills in line with the expectations of the sector, so that when we do undertake such a contract we will do so with utmost confidence in our ability to fulfil it". Mark James |
| "Supply2.gov.uk provides CK Science with essential updates which make us aware of key contacts and opportunities in the recruitment sector." Ajay Patel |
| “Resolution Television is an independent digital video production company working for the public sector. Supply2.gov.uk has proven invaluable in staying abreast of the different activities local government is involved with and locating potential business.” Sylvia Priest |
| “Supply2.gov.uk has provided value to our business by keeping us up to date on public sector contracts out to tender. The email alerts are very effective. They provide all the contract details necessary to find out further information regarding tender opportunities.” Jennifer Kivett |
| “Supply2.gov.uk has been a useful tool for Camden Jobtrain. We normally monitor TED but using Supply2.gov.uk has been a useful additional tool through which we have identified and pursued two new business opportunities which, without Supply2.gov.uk, we would not have known about. The interface is logical, easy to use and far more operable than TED. We use the RSS feeds from TED but prefer the Supply2.gov.uk email alert system. Receiving emails with no opportunities listed is reassuring as we always know that the system is continuously searching against our pre-defined search parameters.” Neil Roberts |
| “Supply2.gov.uk gives me up-to-date information within the UK market, informing me of all tender opportunities which arise on a day-to-day basis. I check the site regularly which enables me to keep on top of every announcement made. Supply2.gov.uk is a good UK market tool, helping companies offer their services to organisations, whether locally or nationally. Furthermore, it enables networking which encourages business to build within the UK market.” Mark Anderson |
| “Supply2.gov.uk has assisted Taylor Electrical in obtaining information which we would not have otherwise known about. This information has allowed us to talk to several local authorities with whom we had not previously worked. Long may the Supply2.gov.uk service prosper and continue to help small businesses to enter the public sector market - it can only be a good thing." Simon Charnley |
| “The service has allowed us to quickly check any tender opportunities on one site and saved considerable time. It has also located tenders that we may not have spotted in the past. Good service and value for money.” Paul Murphy |
| "The Supply2.gov.uk service has worked to add value to our business by providing us with easy access, on a daily basis, to view current tender opportunities matched to the services Virtual360 Ltd provides. This offers us opportunities that would otherwise be missed. Furthermore, we find the website easy, quick and convenient to navigate. The customer service is also great - very helpful and friendly."” Kate Archibald |
| "As a small event management company in a very competitive and growing market, we value Supply2.gov.uk as a valued resource for business growth and finding out about contract opportunities. I'm pleased to say that my company, Definitive Events Ltd, has been accepted onto the Framework Agreement for Events for a public sector organisation, as a result of finding the opportunity on Supply2.gov.uk. We can still offer the same standard of service the larger event management companies can, but with the additional benefits of personal, professional and cost-effective service. It's good to know we won't be ruled out of opportunities because we are a small company."” Lisa Pennington |
| "381 Consultancy, an overhead cost reduction consultancy, has been registered with Supply2.gov.uk for the last year. We are regularly identifying opportunities from the daily email alerts, which have enabled us to express an interest in several high and lower-value contract opportunities throughout the UK. We find the Supply2.gov.uk service an invaluable resource for business growth in our arena of non-staffed overheads."” Angela Standing |
| "Supply2.gov.uk is an excellent way to view tender opportunities, which has worked really well for ELA Marketing. Still in our first year of subscription we have access to both high and lower-value contract opportunities. We have found the Supply2.gov.uk service easy to use and clear in identifying which opportunities will be relevant to the company. Already we have been able to tender for two contracts."” Lizzie Allen |
| "Tranasco Tiling Ltd registered with Supply2.gov.uk in June 2007, and within the first month we realised the value Supply2.gov.uk holds for our company. Specifically the daily email alerts, which keep us informed of new projects, enabling us to provide competitive rates to our customers."” Kevin McGoldrick |
| "We use Supply2.gov.uk as it is great to have access to the many lower-value business opportunities within the public sector. We have pursued many tenders and won opportunities with the help of the service. It is good to know there is someone else out there sourcing business leads and sending them our way."” Frank Crosby |
| "We signed up to Supply2.gov.uk as soon as it went live. Almost as soon as we had registered and completed our profile we identified a training contract issued by our local county council that we then tendered for. We would not have known about this contract if we had not been a member of Supply2.gov.uk"” Ann-Marie Sheridan |
"As Supply2.gov.uk approaches its anniversary year. I would like to say how useful we find this service, and are keen to continue to use it. We also recommend it to other businesses as a great way to find tenders. Thanks and good luck for the next year!" Samantha Smith |
