New sourcing pathway on the Digital Marketplace
New sourcing pathway on the Digital

The Digital Marketplace has a new sourcing pathway. The new seek proposals and quotes
pathway (https://marketplace1.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000579716?
utm_source=DMP+Buyers&utm_campaign=c87a8b6b5a-

3f-c87a8b6b5a-183683359) gives buyers a faster, more efficient way to source digital services.

The new pathway, released this week, makes it easier for buyers who are clear on their needs
and requirements to approach sellers directly for a quote or proposal. With the seek proposals
and quotes flow, there is now greater flexibility available for buyers, particularly those working
to a short time-frame.
Buyers can upload attachments that show detailed requirements, set closing dates and
timeframes (with a minimum of 2 days) and request proposals in their preferred format.  
The new pathway also helps support buyers who are undertaking more complex procurement
activities to approach sellers directly.

The DTA implemented these changes in response to extensive user feedback and engagement
with Marketplace users over time. The new pathway addresses concerns of buyers who want
faster, more efficient processes.
