Strategic partner of IATA's Fuel Tender Standard

The modern way to run a jet fuel tender.

JetFuelTenders replaces inboxes and spreadsheets with a secure workspace where airlines issue competitive tenders and fuel suppliers bid — with live index pricing, round-by-round negotiation, and an audit trail your procurement, finance, and legal teams can all sign off on.

Platform

Three things every fuel tender needs. One platform.

Fuel procurement has too many moving parts to run in email. JetFuelTenders is built around the three stages every tender moves through — orchestrate, benchmark, award.

01

Orchestrate the tender

Stand up multi-round, multi-location tenders in hours, not days. Invite specific suppliers, share specs and cover letters, run sealed or open rounds, and keep every clarification in a searchable thread.

  • Multi-round bidding with round-level status
  • Sealed or real-time bidding — pick the mode per tender
  • In-tender Q&A replaces email chains
02

Benchmark every bid

Every offer is normalized into a common currency, unit, delivery term, and payment term — then benchmarked against live Platts and Argus data so you can tell a competitive bid from an indexed one in seconds.

  • Live Platts, Argus & S&P Global feeds
  • Cost-of-capital & payment-term normalization
  • Per-usage, volume-based, tax-on-tax fee modeling
03

Award with an audit trail

Tentative and final awards, role-based approvals, e-signatures on bids, and 30-day API logs plus 6-month history on every record. When procurement, finance, or audit asks "why this supplier?", the answer is a click away.

  • Tentative and final award workflows
  • django-simple-history on every core model
  • IATA FTS XML for ERP/BI integration

Feature snapshot

Purpose-built for the way jet fuel actually gets bought and sold.

General-purpose RFx tools don't know what a Platts differential is. JetFuelTenders does. Here's a cross-section of the capabilities airlines and suppliers use every day.

Multi-round tender orchestration

Launch draft → active → awaiting review → awarded workflows across any number of stations, with round extensions and round-level supplier management.

Live index-based pricing

Platts and Argus prices are pulled daily and wired into the bid comparison engine. Suppliers bid index-plus-differential, airlines see apples-to-apples economics.

Both sides Learn more

Bulk Excel bid import

Suppliers download a tender-shaped Excel template, fill 50+ locations offline, and upload for validated import with conflict resolution and progress tracking.

Multi-currency, multi-unit

Accept bids in any currency (USD, EUR, GBP, local) and any unit (USG, L, MT, bbl). Live exchange rates and configurable conversion rules keep comparisons honest.

Both sides

SAF mandate tracking

First-class support for neat, voluntary, and mandated Sustainable Aviation Fuel blends. Track compliance percentages and tiered pricing at the contract level.

Both sides

IATA FTS XML & REST API

Standards-based XML exchange for tender invitations, bids, awards, and cancellations. REST API with token auth for ERP integrations and custom pipelines.

How it works

From tender invite to awarded contract in one shared workspace.

  1. 1

    Airline launches the tender

    Procurement defines locations, volumes, fuel types, and terms. Invite your supplier shortlist with one click. Attach specs, insurance requirements, and cover letters.

  2. 2

    Suppliers bid — online or via bulk import

    Suppliers see the tender in their dashboard. They respond in the form or upload an Excel file covering every station at once. Pre-saved supply conditions auto-populate.

  3. 3

    Platform normalizes and benchmarks every bid

    Currencies converted, units aligned, fees unpacked, and prices plotted against Platts and Argus. Airlines see ranked comparisons, volume impact, and cost-of-capital math.

  4. 4

    Clarify in-line, run additional rounds if needed

    Ask questions per contract, per station, or across the whole tender. Extend a round, invite new suppliers, or request revised bids — all without reopening email.

  5. 5

    Award — tentatively, then finally — with an audit trail

    Confirm tentative awards, trigger branded notification emails, capture e-signatures, export to ERP via IATA FTS XML. Every action is versioned and timestamped.

Security & compliance

Designed for the procurement team — and their auditors.

Jet fuel is a regulated, auditable, hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars category. JetFuelTenders is built to the standard your finance, legal, and IT teams expect.

  • Two-factor authentication (email OTP + TOTP)

    Per-user enforcement, device management, and full session audit log.

  • Role-based access control

    Admin, manager, user, viewer — with tender-level and contract-level visibility.

  • Immutable activity log

    Every login, bid submission, and award decision is versioned via django-simple-history.

  • Isolated tenant data

    Suppliers see their own bids only. Airlines see their own tenders only. No cross-tenant leakage.

A live tender, the way airlines see it

Every supplier ranked, normalized, and benchmarked in real time.

When a tender goes live, every bid lands here — converted to your currency, your unit, and your delivery terms, then ranked against the day's Platts spot. No spreadsheets to consolidate; no analyst pulling all-nighters before award.

  • Live ranking updates as bids come in
  • Trend per supplier, round over round
  • Status pills surface withdrawals and stragglers
  • One click into per-bid breakdown & cost-of-capital math
