TenderHub

Tender notices in Sri Lanka are scattered across newspapers, hundreds of institutional websites, the weekly Gazette and a government system that only covers the agencies required to use it. A contractor who finds a notice three days late has already lost the job. Smaller buyers have the opposite problem: no affordable way to run a tender online at all.

TenderHub covers both halves. A CodeIgniter 4 API holds the notices, the subscriptions and the procurement data, and a Next.js front end serves the public catalogue along with three private areas — one for bidders, one for buying organisations and one for the platform team.

Two things shaped the build. Almost everyone arrives from a search engine, so every notice page is rendered on the server and can be indexed. And most of them are on low-end phones over mobile data, so searching and filtering work without waiting for JavaScript to load.
