What is the Customer Portal?

The Customer Portal is a subscription product that gives your business its own branded portal for managing all the work you need to outsource or tender. Instead of chasing quotes individually, you post a single job advert and let qualified businesses come to you.

It's designed for businesses that regularly need to place work with:

  • Freelancers (design, development, writing, etc.)
  • Suppliers (materials, wholesale, goods)
  • Service providers (maintenance, consulting, trade)
  • Advertisers & marketing partners

You post the job, they bid — you choose who wins.

Who Can Bid on Your Jobs?

When you post a job advert through the Customer Portal, it's visible to all registered businesses in the relevant programme. They bid directly through their own account — no phone tag, no missed emails.

How It Works

Three steps from posting a job to awarding a contract.

1

Post Your Job Advert

Describe the work, set a budget or invite open tenders, specify your deadline and requirements. Choose who can see it — freelancers, suppliers, services, advertisers, or all of them.

2

Receive & Compare Bids

Qualifying businesses submit proposals through their own account portal. You see all bids in your dashboard — with rates, timelines, profiles, and ratings — so you can compare them side by side.

3

Award, Manage & Pay

Accept the winning bid, track job progress, receive invoices, and release payment — all within the portal. Rate the work and build a trusted supplier/contractor network over time.
