A platform for partner and supplier matchmaking

Skipso powers Partner & Supplier Marketplaces where buyers and suppliers find each other based on genuine fit. Curate a rich supplier directory, publish procurement opportunities, and match them automatically to the right partners - all within a structured, auditable platform.

Curate

Build and manage a rich, searchable directory of curated partners and suppliers with structured profile data.

MATCH

AI-powered recommendations surface the right suppliers for every opportunity - based on profile, sector, and capability.

Evaluate

Structured applications, custom scoring criteria, and designated evaluator teams - with a full audit trail from submission to award.

Engage

Keep your supplier community active between formal opportunities with events, resources, and community tools.

Curate and onboard your supplier network

Build a structured, searchable directory of curated partners and suppliers. Each supplier creates a rich profile capturing their sector, capabilities, areas of interest, and relevant credentials - giving buyers the context to assess fit before engaging.

Rich supplier profiles

Suppliers onboard with comprehensive profiles - covering products, services, sector focus, and capabilities. Easily categorise and tag suppliers so buyers can filter and discover the right match for any procurement need.

Managed onboarding and access

Control who joins your marketplace and what they can see. Role-based access ensures suppliers, buyers, evaluators, and administrators each see the right information at every stage.

Publish opportunities and match suppliers

Launch structured procurement challenges and automatically surface them to the most relevant suppliers in your network - replacing manual outreach with intelligent, profile-based matching.

AI-matched opportunity recommendations

As opportunities are published, Skipso recommends them to the most relevant suppliers based on their profile, sector, and stated areas of interest - ensuring the right suppliers never miss a relevant opportunity.

Structured challenge requests and approvals

Buyers submit procurement challenges through a defined workflow, with sign-off at each stage before the opportunity goes live. Ensures every published challenge is correctly scoped and approved before suppliers are engaged.

Evaluate, award, and build community

From application receipt to final award, Skipso manages every step of the evaluation process - with custom scorecards, designated evaluator teams, and a full audit trail from first submission to award decision.

Structured evaluation and scoring

Each opportunity has its own application form, scoring criteria, and designated evaluator team. Scores are aggregated automatically, and the full decision trail is maintained throughout.

Supplier community and engagement

Beyond procurement, keep your supplier network active with events, resources, and community updates. Suppliers can connect with each other and stay engaged with your programme between formal opportunities.

Skipso supported us to design, develop and launch the Federated Innovation @MIND digital platform.

The digital platform has a complex organizational structure and continually updated content and flows – Skipso's strength is its flexibility and proactive support!

The features available through the software are a big reason why we initially chose and continue to choose Skipso to run our challenges.

The ability to match startups to mentors within the system is important to us.

I cannot imagine how much longer it would have taken

and how much more it would have cost to launch our ideation initiative without the Skipso Labs platform. It has been wonderful to house all of the information and processes in one place.

In 2019, Skipso helped IsDB set up our Innovation platform ‘Engage’.

The platform was a complete ecosystem of entrepreneurs, researchers, investors and mentors from academia. Since then the highly responsive and enthusiastic team from SkipsoLabs has helped us to establish Engage as a well-known innovation hub.
