EFCG Advises GHD on the Divestiture of Its Leading Digital Procurement Platform, bids&tenders

GHD, a leading professional services company operating in the global markets of water, energy and resources, environment, property and buildings, and transportation has divested its digital procurement platform, bids&tenders, to Valsoft Corporation Inc. (“Valsoft”), a Montreal-based company specializing in the acquisition and development of vertical market software businesses. Designed to simplify and centralize procurement for public- and private-sector organizations, bids&tenders supports the full procurement lifecycle.

Built by procurement professionals, for procurement professionals, bids&tenders has become a trusted partner for organizations seeking to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce manual workloads, and enhance compliance. The platform provides an end-to-end solution covering every stage of the procurement cycle — from bid creation and supplier management to evaluation, award, and contract oversight.

With its intuitive, cloud-based design and flexible configuration options, bids&tenders allows teams to manage complex procurement workflows in one secure digital environment. Key capabilities include bid and contract management, automated compliance checks, digital scorecards for evaluation, vendor communication tools, and comprehensive reporting dashboards — all helping procurement teams make faster, data-driven decisions while reducing administrative burden and risk.

bids&tenders will continue to operate autonomously, with the team transitioning to Valsoft to ensure continuity of service and support for customers. As part of the Valsoft ecosystem, the company will fall under the TAG Software Group, one of Valsoft’s decentralized operating entities.

“EFCG’s market-leading AEC technology expertise and transaction guidance enabled GHD to secure a great long-term home for the bids&tenders team,” said Steve Hammerton, Head of Corporate Finance & Strategic Projects at GHD.

EFCG provided advisory services to GHD on the transaction.
