A portal is one source. A bid is the whole job.
The distinction
One tool can cover a step. A pursuit needs the hand-offs connected.
TenderLink is built for buyer portal access and notifications. Tendor gives the supplier team one working thread through the opportunity, decision and response.
- 01
Opportunity
Find a relevant opportunity and keep its source context.
- 02
Decision
Read the requirements before senior effort is committed.
- 03
Response
Bring evidence, drafting and review into the same pursuit.

Choose by the work you need to run.
A buyer portal and a supplier pursuit workflow can sit alongside one another. The useful distinction is whether you need the buyer's official source, your own end-to-end bid workflow, or both.
When the buyer portal is the source
- You need access to a buyer's official notices, documents or lodgement process.
- Your team is working inside a process defined by that buyer or portal.
When end-to-end pursuit work needs a home
- You need to assess fit, organise approved evidence, prepare a response and manage final sign-off.
- Your team wants one connected workflow across recurring pursuits.
Questions, answered.
How does Tendor differ from TenderLink?
TenderLink is a tender portal and notification service. Tendor is a supplier-side operating layer for an end-to-end pursuit: deciding whether to pursue it, assembling evidence, preparing the response and managing human-owned final submission.
Does Tendor replace buyer portals?
Tendor runs the supplier team's end-to-end pursuit workflow. A buyer's notice, addenda and submission instructions remain the source of truth for that buyer's process.
Who is Tendor for?
It is for teams with recurring bid work that want a clearer process across discovery, bid/no-bid, approved evidence, response preparation and final submission.
