SDG Construction Technology, based in Armagh, supply construction products to the Civil Engineering, Construction and Precast Concrete industries. Logon.ni provided instruction to the company on how to find business opportunities on-line as many of the opportunities to supply their products are advertised exclusively on internet e-procurement websites.
The company was directed to a number of e-procurement websites and was guided through the process to register the business as a supplier, this is free of charge to do. Once registered the company will receive notification of contracts and tenders relevant to the products and services they provide allowing them to decide whether to bid for the contract. The company then received information on the procedures involved in responding to a contract opportunity and the various stages of the tender process.
SDG Construction Technology recognise that e-procurement will form a vital part of the continued success of the company, and fully embrace using the internet to find future business opportunities. Following the meeting with Logon.ni SDG Construction are now receiving notification of contracts via e-mail, and have taken the first steps in responding to tender opportunities on-line.
Mel Lavery, Finance Manager for SDG Construction Technology commented: ‘I found the meeting with Logon.ni to be extremely useful. The advisor was extremely pleasant and helpful and I would have no hesitation in using the service again.’
