‘Catalyst provided the winning contractor with the means of providing support information for a complicated integrated tender. The local authority used the contractor’s software to quickly understand the basis of the tender and, further, to present relevant parts of the tender to the tender evaluation panel responsible for making the final recommendation to Members.

The contractor had skilfully used the software to provide an attractive and confident package which made a significant contribution to the success of the tender in a highly competitive situation.’Patrick Foss-Smith (Chairman, Local Authority Tender Evaluation Panel)
