Reading some of the negative reviews and they are not right. I signed up abut 4 months ago with my construction firm and from day one I have access to tenders and referrals. I brought what was sold to me and it was worth the punt. you get what you put into it, I personally have recommended 2 other contractors to do the same. Great service More...

That tenders4u platform is probably the best one I have been on to date.Edfirst is what it is, I spoke the a school I already work with prior to registration and they confirmed they have used them, that in its self is worth it.

Really happy, First few months nothing much happened until I was contacted by the consultancy team who showed me what I was NOT doing. They passed a call onto me recently from a site who needed some emergency plumbing works undertaken. I am now over the initial registration fee originally paid with and a maintenance contract in place. Not bad and keep it coming. More...

This review is to express my gratitude to the team as I have just had confirmation on my first order to a school via edfirst.Thank you so much and I look forward to the remainder of my membership!

I have now been a member of school supplies / edfirst for 3 months. The staff are very helpful in getting my profile setup and the best way to market myself to schools.
Pleased to say I have had contact from a number of schools to date with various types of work.
The tender system that they offer is a superb tool and I have just won my first contract through this system.
If you want to get yourself in front of schools I would recommened this
