Bolfyng is solidly backed by our reliable technical partner, Biddingo, a reputable international company operating in Canada for over 20 years, leading the provision of e-Purchasing, e-Tendering and e-Bidding solutions.

“The company has transformed many organizations, municipals, state and federal government purchasing unit in Canada and United States to an e-Purchasing platform.

“The e-Tendering solution will help transform procurement units to electronic tendering units thus promoting transparency, fairness and openness in bid posting and award, as stipulated by section 2 of the procurement Act.”, Kassim said,

He said the firm’s services, among others, included: online bid/tender creation, posting and publishing by procurement team within minutes; cheaper advert; instant notification on bid posted for suppliers; daily auto count down on bids closing date, among others.

With the technology, he said procurement team could be directly connected to suppliers as well as suppliers worldwide, and “Suppliers have access to view your bids every day and anywhere even after bid closing date.”
