The collaboration element really helped us leverage our volume and together with the auction helped deliver significant savings. The Lotting strategy meant a range of products are available for the local authorities to purchase meaning individual requirements are not compromised.![]()

We ran a major construction spend category through the eAuction process with e-Three. They supported us at every step with professional advice, well thought out processes and robust documents and templates. They turned this into a very interesting project, which concluded with some pretty amazing financial results. We shall certainly use e-Three's expertise again as we target other key areas of our business.
We are delighted with the results of our first e-Auction which has more than met its objectives. I can not speak highly enough of e-Three who provided us with professional advice and expertise and support of the highest order throughout the process and on the e-Auction day itself.![]()

With the need to strongly establish Procurement’s position within the business through delivering results it was essential that the master vendor solution was tendered effectively. Without e-Three’s professional knowledge and support of eAuctions London Probation would not have achieved the same degree of value for money.![]()

At BAE SYSTEMS we are increasingly using eAuctions to efficiently and effectively establish fair market prices for the products and services we procure. We want to protect our relationships with our suppliers and believe the eAuction process can support this if our suppliers are properly prepared to compete effectively. e-Three have the depth of knowledge and solutions that suppliers can leverage when competing for business to produce mutually beneficial relationships.
We faced the prospect of losing three major clients at eAuction due to inexperience and lack of knowledge in the eAuction field. We were nervous about participating in the process and worried about the implications that the eAuction would have on the profitability of these key accounts. e-Three gave us the skills and expertise we needed to compete confidently. As a result, not only have we retained all three clients, but in the process have enhanced our supplier status on the PSL and have realised a significant increase in the volumes of business received. We have also won new business via eAuction at prices we are happy with.
We know our business inside out, but when it came to tendering via eAuction, we were very thin on knowledge. e-Three's eAuction Event Support programme gave our entire team the structure and process knowledge needed to take us through the tendering process with great confidence. The mock eAuctions e-Three constructed allowed us to practice our bidding tactics in a risk free environment, instead of making mistakes with real money. Winning this piece of business was critical to our long term success. With the support of e-Three we were able to offer the buying team better value than our competitors without getting into an all-out price war. We will certainly use e-Three's services again.
