Q:What is the difference between TenderDirect & E-Perolehan
A:All MOF suppliers (Ministry of Finance) must compulsorily register themselves with E-Perolehan, which is the official body set up to manage MOF registered suppliers.

TenderDirect, on the other hand, is an independent tender information service provider which gathers, publishes and distributes tender and procurement information from all sectors including those meant for PKK, CIDB and MOF.

While we understand that some information may overlap, we are confident you will find that the scope and range of information covered by TenderDirect will bring valuable benefits to your business.
