Apparently The National Federation of Builders (NFB) has conducted a poll, which shows that a fifth of small businesses think local authorities do not advertise their tenders properly. Details here
Having just done stint of tender loading I think they may have a point - of the 10 I've just loaded onto Skillfair 3 had seriously misleading titles.
For example, "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support", is actually a tender to provide a data centre to host some servers and "information systems or technology strategic review and planning services" is a housing management information system.
I have some sympathy with the clients as they do get a lot of responses but it makes me very glad that we actually read every tender and change the titles to something more meaningful before sending them to our members!
