Mercell Tendering - Sourcing

Flexible sourcing for below threshold procurement

Deliver efficient and transparent sourcing from request to award in one connected workflow.

From defined need to sourcing in minutes

Once a need is defined, sourcing requires clear specifications, supplier dialogue and documented decisions - even for smaller procurements.

Sourcing ensures a structured process for running basic RFQ, invite only or open public opportunities, all below threshold.

Create a Basic or Advanced RFx in minutes with ready-made templates and manage all sourcing events in one clear and centralised overview.

Basic or advanced RFx depending on your needs

Choose the right RFx setup for each sourcing scenario, from simple purchases to more complex processes, with full control over structure, criteria and documentation.
