Replace spreadsheet-and-inbox tenders with a structured, auditable workspace. Compare all-in prices: index, differential, fees, taxes, SAF and the cost of payment terms in one total, benchmarked against index prices and tracked end-to-end - so procurement, finance, and legal all work from the same source of truth.
Most airlines still run fuel tenders across fragmented emails, inconsistent spreadsheets, and a handful of overextended analysts. It works - until you need to explain how a winning bid was benchmarked, or reconcile suppliers quoting in different units, currencies, and structures.
There's a better way to run a tender - one where every bid is structured, comparable, and defensible from the moment it arrives.
Excel, PDFs, email bodies - each with different currencies, units, and fee structures. Normalizing them takes days, not minutes, and introduces risk at every step.
Index prices in one tab, supplier quotes in another. By the time you've validated one location, the market has already moved.
When finance or internal audit asks why Supplier A beat Supplier B, the answer is buried across email threads, attachments, and shared folders.
Four steps: Details, Locations, Suppliers, Review and Launch, with per-location volumes, fuel types, and contract periods. Import locations and volumes from Excel. Import your current contracts from Excel to benchmark new bids.
Sealed or real-time bidding, set up the way you work. In a sealed round you see only counts while it is open: offers received, suppliers who bid, locations with bids. Prices open when the round closes. Or run real-time rounds and see each bid as it is submitted, ranked on total price. Suppliers see only their own prices.
In-app chat with each supplier, with email alerts. Questions and answers stay with the tender.
Run tenders with locations for your child airlines. Set each one to Interactive or Read-only, and limit who may award or launch the next round.
Structured two-stage award workflow with branded notifications, and suppliers sign their awards online, with a complete, audit-ready decision trail.
Standards-based XML for invitations, awards, and cancellations. IATA FTS XML API on Enterprise.
S&P Global Energy and Argus prices are loaded into the platform (your own subscription required). When a supplier quotes "Platts Singapore + $0.12," it's converted into an all-in price in your currency and unit, including the cost of payment terms, so every bid can be compared on the same basis.
No offline models. No manual recalculation. Each total shows its index price, differential, fees and taxes.
A lower quoted price on 60-day terms can be more expensive than a higher price on net-10. Jet Fuel Tenders models cost-of-capital, payment terms, conversion factors, and fee structures, so the "best bid" reflects your actual economics, not how a supplier formats their quote.
No offline spreadsheets. No post-award surprises.
Quantify the impact of payment terms directly in your comparisons. A 30-day difference is translated into a real dollar adjustment - built into every bid evaluation.
Volume and per-usage fees, product taxes and tax on tax, all in one total.
See the best value with one, two or more suppliers, and the change against your current contracts.

Import locations and suppliers from Excel, enter bids for a supplier from a file, and export every bid in the All-In-One Bid Sheet or your own Export Templates.
Step-by-step tutorials with short videos, inside the app after sign-in: from your first tender to awards.
Whether you operate across multiple legal entities or decentralized procurement teams, Jet Fuel Tenders fits complex airline environments without workarounds.
