Trade Interchange Identifies New eAuctions Trend in Capital Expenditure Projects

January 2010

Trade Interchange has recently witnessed an increased use of eAuctions in the capital expenditure arena – especially in categories such as IT hardware, machinery, equipment, and refurbishment works contracts.

These auctions typically contain a mixture of labour/service and physical equipment costs, and may be for a fixed or escalating number of projects – possibly for a store or depot refurbishment roll-out.

Commenting on this new trend, Simon Brake, CEO, Trade Interchange commented, “The flexibility of the eAuction tool allows buyers and project managers to negotiate the optimum package available in today’s tough market.”
