• Simplified participation process for energy suppliers on the enPORTAL connect energy marketplace
• Fully digital tendering process within the platform
• Standardised tender and purchase order data optimises sales

The IT service provider enPORTAL has expanded its proven platform enPORTAL connect and thus offers energy suppliers even more efficient and simpler participation in public tenders for electricity and gas via the digital energy marketplace. With the new, fully digitalised process, energy suppliers can now participate in tenders from public clients and sector contracting authorities in compliance with procurement law and without media discontinuity. All processes take place within the platform, making it quicker and easier to participate in public energy tenders. The product update enables energy suppliers to significantly expand their presence in the public sector.

Easy access and optimised tendering process

The further development of enPORTAL connect simplifies access to tenders and enables a consistent digital process from the submission of the request to participate to the submission of the tender. The standardised process and the high quality of the tender data eliminate the need for time-consuming adjustments to changing document requirements. Energy suppliers thus benefit from significant time savings and increased efficiency. "The integration and utilisation is deliberately kept simple: All required data can be entered directly into the online form within the platform, eliminating the need for external software and the exchange of files," emphasises Clemens Graf von Wedel.

New sales opportunities through standardised data and optimised processes

Standardised purchase order data from contracting authorities and sector clients as well as high-quality tender documents create transparency and consistency so that energy suppliers can submit bids quickly and accurately. The standardised structure of the tenders enables them to quickly familiarise themselves with new contract opportunities and thus increases their chances of successfully participating in the public market.
