Pay per Use
Only pay for what you actually use. Scalable up and down. No oversized licence packages.
Tenders are painful.
They don't have to be.
The effort doesn’t start with the tender itself, it starts with gathering data. And it rarely ends at the award. Here is what we hear most often.
1
Data chaos before you even start
Multiple systems, spreadsheets, inconsistencies, hours are lost before the first supplier is contacted. Clean data should not be a project in itself.
2
Bids that cannot be compared
3
Evaluation as a manual effort
Consolidation, outlier removal, negotiation preparation, all done by hand. Three weeks of work for something that should take a day.
4
Award communication with compliance risk
Wrong file to the wrong supplier, it happens more often than it should. The consequences are growing, and manual processes are the cause.
Four things you will not find anywhere else.
Procurement software is not in short supply. What distinguishes u-tender is not a feature list, it is a fundamentally different way of working.
SERVICE MODEL
You are not just buying a tool.
“I have to learn it, adapt to it, and it still doesn’t match how we work.”
- Available as full-service: OCCON runs the process for you.
- Software that reflects your needs: your structure, your wording, your rules.
- Scalable in both directions, depending on your capacity.
Tired of chatbots and endless queues?
“Hotlines, generic answers, repeating myself, never actually resolved.”
- First Class Support from the OCCON team: real people who know your process.
- A dedicated contact person, not whoever is next in the queue.
- Boutique quality: you are not a ticket number with us.
INTEGRATIONS
Connect your island.
“Our systems don’t talk to each other. Manual exports have become a full-time job.”
- Integrations live in under one month, no year-long IT projects.
- Proven in practice: successfully implemented including at MICHELIN.
- Your systems connected. Your data consistent.
PRICING MODELS
No buying blind with us.
“Budget uncertainty, hidden costs, oversized licence packages I’ll never fully use.”
- Pay per Use: you only pay for what you actually use.
- Scalable up and down, depending on project size and need.
- No blind purchase, no risk, no hidden commitments.
From RFQ to award.
Five steps. One tool. Zero system breaks.

u-tender supports your entire procurement cycle, not just the annual tender. Six modules that work individually or as a complete package.
Contract Management
Fixed contract, fixed rates? Not necessarily. Fuel clauses, adjustments, supplier changes, cleanly documented. One rate bible, not ten versions.
Monitoring & Controlling
Where are the savings? Monthly figures, forecast vs. actuals, volume vs. price effect. Know exactly who the problem is: supplier, sales or dispatch.
Rate Calculator
What does it cost from A to B? Sales teams ask constantly. All contracted options including transit times, in seconds instead of hours.
Spot Deals
Global tender, but no visibility over local ad-hoc deals? Spot deals logged in under a minute. Global transparency, controlled spend.
Invoice Control
Great rates agreed, but the invoice says otherwise? 100% invoice control, outsourced or automated. Small discrepancies no longer slip through.
Supplier Evaluation
Supplier assessment made simple. No cumbersome spreadsheets, no data protection issues. Weighted categories, results instantly available.
Results, not promises.
