Source specialist composite manufacture.
Buyers include OEMs, procurement teams, engineering companies, motorsport and aerospace programmes, or another manufacturer sourcing overflow work. Submit a private requirement and review interest from relevant suppliers.
For suppliers — does the work
Find work suited to your capabilities.
Suppliers are composite manufacturers, tooling specialists and process partners looking for suitable work. Complete a capability profile, see relevant private RFQs and public opportunities, then express interest where the work fits. Joining does not guarantee quotes, suitability or an award.

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.

Start with enough information—not protected IP.
CompositeBid is launching for UK business-to-business enquiries. 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.
