Consider a project’s due date as the earliest due date set by any one of the tenderers.
Currently when sorting by “Due Date” on the noticeboard a project appears as closing on the latest date set by a tendering contractor. Changing this to the earliest date will prevent us from missing opportunities to quote for Builders as all tenderers will be open to receiving pricing. Sometimes I find tenders that are open for one Builder but have closed for all the other tenderers.

Filters have now been added to the open and awarded tenders page, so you can now sort and filter in however many different ways you require.
Specifically regarding this query – projects will remain sorting by the latest close date by a builder. This is because one or two builders may be invited back to post-tender, and extend their deadline. If we sort by earliest builder, then these projects will disappear for other subbies.
Please let us know if there’s any further improvements you can think of, thank you for you suggestion.

If you click the 'quotes due' tab and sort by nearest date to latest. You will see that this actually doesnt sort as you would expect.
It groups the projects due dates for per head tenderers together, say for example ranging from 1st march - march 12th.
However you will not find this entry grouped with projects ending around 1st march.
It will place the tender entry for the project at the latest date (March 12th)I have missed tender deadlines in the past because of this date ranking which is very illogical and in some cases useless.
The quotes due tab is broken. See for yourself.
