IN DEVELOPMENT
More than an RFQ marketplace
A supplier shouldn’t only open CompositeBid when they’re looking for work.
CompositeBid is being developed as a secure workspace for running composite projects day to day — including work from existing customers.
- Project Managers can see where work is.
- Production teams can update progress.
- Quality can manage holds and release.
- Customers see only information deliberately shared with them.

Two ways to find work
Private RFQs and Free Opportunities are different.
Both help suppliers find useful work, but only private RFQs begin with a CompositeBid buyer submission.
Private CompositeBid RFQs
Submitted privately by a buyer and reviewed before eligible suppliers see a non-confidential summary. Buyer identity and protected technical details are not public.
Free Opportunities
Manually reviewed public opportunities with an official source link. CompositeBid is not the buyer and does not act on the issuing organisation’s behalf.
Browse Free OpportunitiesTrust & confidentiality
Start with enough information—not protected IP.
CompositeBid operates as a UK-first business-to-business platform, with international supplier participation growing. RFQs are reviewed by a person, and public forms are for non-confidential summaries only. Submitting a form does not create an NDA or other duty of confidence.
Do not submit classified information, UK export-controlled technical data, US ITAR or EAR-controlled data, trade secrets, personal data you are not authorised to share, or material restricted by an NDA.
Before drawings, specifications or other protected know-how are exchanged, the relevant parties should sign a separate NDA and agree an approved secure disclosure process. Personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Notice.
