Vortal’s public contracting platform includes all the phases of the public contracting process.

eNoticing is available on the platform by providing automatic bulletins about newly launched competitions electronically. 
This solution is interlinked with OJEU (European Union’s Official Gazette) and permits access to the advert about the competition, details about project specifications and tasks as well as other support documents.

Through the eSubmission solution the presentation of proposals to adjudicating entities can be carried out solely by electronic means.

Vortal’s public contracting platform is equipped to ensure the reception of these proposals with the resource of chronological validation while ensuring maximum confidentiality. 

The platform is set up to meet all legal requirements consistent with the procedure which the user is bound to meet, ensuring compliance with the legislation in force.

By using the platform the user also has the assurance that all the necessary steps required to present proposals are complied with, avoiding the possibility of being disqualified through not knowing those requirements.  

The decision-making process is crucial.
 
• This process includes the proposals analysis phase with three key objectives:
• To check if each proposal meets all the competition requirements;
• Evaluates and compares each competitor according to defined criteria;
• Estimates the final evaluation of each proposal in accordance with the criteria and weighting defined so that a selection can be made which brings a higher return and value.     
• The adoption of an electronic platform significantly helps to attain these objectives, and furthermore:
• All the proposals may easily be compared according to each attribute by using comparative models, eliminating the need for countless documents;   
• All clarifications can be obtained and communicated in an automatic and efficient form;
• The decision support tools may be applied directly to existing information;
• The negotiation and decision making process can automatically be carried out on the platform;  
• The use of auctions can be an important tool to increase competitiveness. 
 

However, the greatest advantage is transparency and increasing competitiveness and reducing the costs associated with administrative processes.
