How It Works

From brief to award in
four governed steps.

NearSupply structures every stage of the sourcing cycle so nothing falls through the cracks.

STEP 01
📝
Create the Event
Define your sourcing need — RFQ, RFI, or RFP. Add line items, attach technical specs, set a response deadline, and choose a template or start fresh.
STEP 02
📤
Invite Suppliers
Select verified suppliers by category, geography, or membership tier. Send structured invitations and track who opened, responded, and who declined.
STEP 03
⚖️
Compare Quotes
Collect governed responses in a structured format. Compare all quotes side-by-side in one matrix. Score on price, delivery, terms, and compliance.
STEP 04
Issue the Award
Route the award decision through your approval matrix. Issue the formal award letter, generate the handoff package, and archive the full audit trail.

Trust & Compliance

Governance built in,
not bolted on.

Designed for organisations where procurement decisions require accountability, documentation, and audit-readiness.

Define roles for buyers, reviewers, approvers, and observers. Restrict who can view, submit, or approve at every stage of the sourcing event.

📋

Full Audit Trail

Every action — invitations sent, quotes received, comparisons made, awards issued — is logged with timestamps, user identity, and event reference.

Approval Matrix

Configure multi-tier approval workflows with spend thresholds. Require dual sign-off on high-value awards. Block unauthorised decisions automatically.

📄

Document Control

Attach specs, NDA agreements, and compliance certificates to events. Track supplier acknowledgement and document version history.

🌍

Supplier Verification

All supplier profiles are reviewed before being made discoverable. Membership tiers provide additional credibility signals to procurement teams.

📊

What is the difference between RFQ, RFI, and RFP on NearSupply?
+
An RFI is used to gather market intelligence. An RFQ is used when the specification is defined and you need competitive pricing. An RFP is for complex requirements where you want suppliers to propose their approach. NearSupply supports all three with structured workflows.
How are suppliers verified on the platform?
+
All supplier profiles are reviewed by the NearRange operations team before being made discoverable to buyers. Verification covers business registration, trade license, and capability documentation. Membership tiers offer additional credibility signals.
Can I control which suppliers see my sourcing events?
+
Yes. All sourcing events are controlled by invitation. Only suppliers you explicitly invite can see and respond to your events. There is no open marketplace where unvetted vendors can submit quotes.
Is there an approval workflow for awards?
+
Yes. You can configure a multi-tier approval matrix with spend thresholds. Every approval is logged with timestamp and user identity as part of the audit trail.
What does it cost for buyers to use the platform?
+
Buyers access the platform through a managed service arrangement with NearRange. Suppliers access the platform through membership plans — see our Plans page for current pricing tiers.
