You can use a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed to subscribe to a specific buyer's Tenders page and receive brief, automatic updates directly in your internet browser. This helps you follow new tenders from specific organisations.
Prerequisites
- You are a Supplier (or any user who wants to follow a tender feed).
- You have a feed reader application installed (these are third-party applications not supported by VendorPanel-a Unimarket Company).
Steps
-
Navigate to the Tenders page of the organisations or the VendorPanel-a Unimarket Company marketplace:
- For the Marketplace, visit:
https://www.vendorpanel.com.au/PublicTenders - For specific organisations, the address is typically:
www.vendorpanel.com.au/<organisations_nickname>/tenders
- For the Marketplace, visit:
-
Click on the RSS Feed icon located in the top-right hand corner of the screen.
- Load the feed into your installed RSS feed reader application.
- Follow the feed within your feed reader. This will activate notifications in your browser or app whenever the feed is refreshed automatically.
Results/Validation
Once you have followed the feed, your RSS reader will automatically notify you of new items, such as a new tender, landing on the feed. Clicking on an update will take you directly to the tender.
Limits & Notes
- VendorPanel-a Unimarket Company provides the feed as a service but does not support how the feed is read or displayed by your third-party feed reader.
- You are not restricted in how many feeds you can follow; you can subscribe to multiple organisations' feeds.
- Once you follow the feed, you do not have to click the RSS feed link again to get updates; they go straight to your app.
