DFG Tenders Portal
The DFG Tenders Portal is an automatic and easy to use online system built around a schedule of rates, which is fully customisable to meet your requirements. Developed for Local Authorities and Home Improvement Agencies, this system creates an instant solution to the tendering process so your officers can spend their time where it matters the most.
How it works
Your contractors log-in and pre-price all the items in your schedule.
For each project, you pick the items from your schedule that apply and DFG Tenders calculates a tender price from each contractor based on your selections and their prices.
Attach drawings, photos and any other information the contractor will need.
Then you select the successful contractor, based on price and/or quality, and the details are emailed straight to the contractor.
You can download a PDF of the priced schedule to save to your file or share with others.

From speaking to Local Authorities and Home Improvement Agencies we know that:
Not all money is allocated
Many are under-spending on their increased allocations
Timescales are being missed
Most are missing the timescales set out in official guidelines
Processes are outdated
Some are still asking for quotations to be returned in the post
DFG Tenders Portal aims to simplify the process of choosing contractors for tenders with instant responses.
