4Your Benefits
The tender is something we had in mind where we bring ideas, creativity and people together. The ideas of unique and custom made items such as embroidery or digital printing for different applications and purposes is something we wanted to cater to. The tender allows all sorts of creativity to become a reality. Both profiles can create and partake in uploading an idea and get the right person to complete the project.
Partaking in a tender is a strategy used in sourcing between buyers and suppliers in which the sellers compete with one another to win the business of the buyer. We call it a tender, because prices trend down as the bidding goes on, rather than up, as they would in a typical auction. Suppliers are bidding at a lower and lower price to win the chance to complete the task.
