For a UK mid-market team replacing spreadsheet tenders, assess Market Dojo's sourcing plans first; consider Jaggaer if you need full source-to-pay and Professional Services setup. Market Dojo advertises tender management from £1,000 a month and Simple Sourcing from £500 a month billed annually, with most teams live within 5 business days. Jaggaer's G-Cloud rate card lists Sourcing+ from £21,400 a year for up to 5 users on a minimum 2-year term, with cheaper modules available.
Key pointers
- Ask Market Dojo for a quote on Simple or Pro Sourcing before assuming you need a wider bundle; single-user list prices start at £500 a month on an annual plan.
- Test Market Dojo's free Sourcing Starter sandpit before spending anything.
- Get Jaggaer's minimum contract term in writing, because its published G-Cloud rate card requires a 2-year commitment and commercial terms need a separate quote.
- Budget separately for implementation, using Jaggaer's published industry range of 50 to 150 per cent of the year-one licence fee as a question to investigate, not a Jaggaer quotation.
- Public sector organisations and eligible charities can consider G-Cloud 14; an ordinary private commercial business cannot buy through the framework.
- If your quarterly tender volume is a handful of suppliers, assess a sourcing module before committing to a full source-to-pay suite.
What this decision actually involves
Running tenders through email and spreadsheets can make supplier responses, scoring and decision records harder to keep together. Simultaneous spreadsheet editing does not inherently erase an audit trail, but a procurement lead still needs a consistent process for recording who scored each bid and why a supplier was chosen. Both Market Dojo and Jaggaer offer structured sourcing platforms that bring these activities together.
Where they differ is positioning and sales model. Market Dojo targets mid-market procurement teams with team-led adoption and published sourcing prices. Jaggaer targets global enterprises running the full source-to-pay cycle, from sourcing through contracts, supplier management and payment. The comparison is between the sourcing plans and rollout requirements a team would actually buy, rather than a claim that Market Dojo only offers sourcing: its published modules also include contract and supplier management, and it offers an integrated source-to-pay suite with Esker.
How each platform gets to a live tender
Market Dojo's tender management FAQ says most teams run their first live event within 5 business days and describes adoption as self-serve and team-led. That is a vendor claim to test against your own supplier data, scoring requirements and approval process, rather than a guaranteed implementation deadline.
Jaggaer's onboarding is set up by its Professional Services team before a customer's staff gain configuration access to colour schemes, logos, custom fields and workflow rules. Its article on procurement contract costs cites an industry implementation range of 50 to 150 per cent of the year-one licence fee for enterprise source-to-pay platforms, separate from ERP integrations, which it says can add $100,000 to $500,000 in middleware costs. These are industry figures, not a published Jaggaer implementation quotation.
For a team moving off spreadsheets for the first time, the practical question is whether you need that level of integration on day one, or whether a structured RFx tool that plugs into your existing purchasing process is enough.
Pricing and cost model
Market Dojo prices per module, per user or per contract, with discounts for annual billing and higher user counts. Its sourcing prices use different billing bases:
| Market Dojo plan | List price | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing Starter | Free | 1 user, sandpit only, no live events |
| Simple Sourcing | £500/month | 1 user, billed annually, basic RFx and eAuctions |
| Pro Sourcing | £583/month | 1 user, billed annually, collaborative scoring, API |
| Strategic Sourcing | £667/month | 1 user, billed annually, advanced multi-stage RFx |
| Pro Sourcing (volume) | £4,800/month (£800/user) | 6 users, billed monthly, VAT excluded |
The six-user figure comes from the rendered sourcing calculator; the per-user price varies with user count.
Market Dojo's tender-management-specific landing page advertises pricing from £1,000 a month and describes it as per-module pricing. That headline annualises to £12,000 over 12 months before any discount, but it does not establish that every module is included. Its general pricing page lists Simple Sourcing from £500 a month billed annually, equivalent to £6,000 a year, covering basic RFx and eAuctions. Which figure applies depends on the modules and user count a specific tender-management rollout needs, so get a written quote against your own requirement.
Jaggaer's enterprise marketing page provides no commercial price list and directs buyers to a demo. Published figures are available through the UK government's Digital Marketplace, where its G-Cloud 14 rate card lists the following annual Sourcing+ prices, excluding VAT. The framework is available to public sector organisations and eligible charities.
| Jaggaer Sourcing+ (G-Cloud 14) | Price per year | User band |
|---|---|---|
| JA-ES1 | £21,400 | Up to 5 users |
| JA-ES2 | £38,500 | Up to 10 users |
| JA-ES3 | £72,700 | Up to 25 users |
| JA-ES4 | £115,500 | Up to 50 users |
All four bands require payment annually in advance and a minimum 2-year committed term. The £21,400 entry point applies to Sourcing+, not the rate card overall: the same document lists Value Tracker from £4,600 and Supplier Management+ from £10,700 annually, excluding VAT. An ordinary private commercial business cannot buy through this framework and needs its own commercial quote.
Assumptions. These tables use published prices reviewed for this article in September 2026. Jaggaer's rate card is dated 7 May 2024 and applies to G-Cloud 14; it is a framework reference, not an established floor for private-sector pricing. The Market Dojo single-user plans and Jaggaer user bands are not equivalent packages.
Market Dojo or Jaggaer, which fits your team
| Criterion | Market Dojo | Jaggaer |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Published sourcing modules from £500/month billed annually; tender management headline from £1,000/month | Commercial quote required; published G-Cloud module prices |
| Minimum term | Monthly licences last one full month; annual licences last 12 months | Minimum 2 years on G-Cloud terms |
| Typical rollout | Self-serve sourcing; vendor says most teams run a first event within 5 business days | Professional Services led setup; timeframe requires confirmation |
| Scope | Selected plans cover sourcing and RFx; wider offering includes contract and supplier management, plus integrated source-to-pay with Esker | Full source-to-pay covering sourcing, contracts, supplier management and payment |
| Best suited to | A mid-market team replacing spreadsheet tenders with structured RFx, with wider modules assessed separately | An organisation needing an integrated S2P suite and support for complex procurement requirements |
| Question to resolve | Which modules, integrations and licence terms does the proposed price include? | What setup, integration and ongoing support does the commercial quote include? |
Choose Market Dojo's sourcing plans if the goal is getting structured tenders live quickly and its published module prices fit the budget. Assess Jaggaer if the business needs a full source-to-pay platform and can support a Professional Services led implementation with a separate setup budget. Where the requirement extends into procurement, accounts payable and payments, include Market Dojo's integrated offering with Esker in the comparison rather than ruling it out on scope alone.
Neither is a universal winner. A mid-market business that later needs contract lifecycle management or deeper ERP integration should assess each vendor's wider offering and migration path; a business that only runs occasional structured tenders may need only a sourcing module.
Editorial analysis
The clearest difference in the evidence is the buying and onboarding process for the sourcing options considered here. Market Dojo publishes module prices and a first-event timeframe, while Jaggaer presents a demo-led commercial route and Professional Services setup. That makes Market Dojo's sourcing plans a practical first shortlist choice for a team leaving spreadsheets, but the final decision should use comparable quotes covering users, modules, data imports, integrations and implementation. Jaggaer's published industry implementation range cannot substitute for its own project quote, and Market Dojo's wider offering means a sourcing-only comparison does not settle the full source-to-pay decision.
