What do customers think of Tenderlake?
"We were nervous about missing out on key opportunities so ran the service in tandem, over 2 months, with a current market leader in public tender searches and a human basis lead generation service. Tenderlake, in this period, has not missed a single relevant opportunity and has in fact surfaced relevant multimillion pound opportunities the other services missed."
