How it runs today
- 01The documents arrive as a PDF bundle, sometimes with hundreds of items.
- 02Someone skims them and decides whether costing is worth it.
- 03If it is costed, items are matched by hand against your own range of services.
Use case
Reviewing tenders is expensive, and most of them lead nowhere. Which is exactly why the pre-selection is worth more than the costing itself.

Where it does not fit
Where an award turns on references and relationships, an evaluation helps little - there it is not the document that decides.
More specific
The process is sector-independent, the fit is not. These pages show the systems, the formats and the rules that actually apply there.
In public procurement, the pre-selection decides the return, not the costing. Every hour spent on a tender you were going to lose anyway is missing from the one you could have won.
ViewIn mechanical engineering the exclusion criterion sits in running text, not in a line item. Skim the document and you find it reliably too late.
ViewIn professional services the formalities decide participation and the concept decides the award. The pre-selection therefore has to check both.
View5 to 8 weeks - the most demanding of the eight cases. Building it is usually the shorter half - the time goes into access, coordination and test cases.
Your range of services in structured form - a list is enough, it only has to be complete. Ten to twenty past tenders together with the decision you took at the time. A contact in costing for the questions of the first weeks. Nothing more is needed to start.
From verifiable criteria agreed before the build: Across 20 real tenders the "cost it / drop it" recommendation agrees with yours in at least 85 %. The item list is read out in full - verified by spot check against the PDF. No bid is submitted without a person looking at it.
The evaluation runs independently; the decision to take part is made by a person. A tender wrongly dropped is never seen again.
Where an award turns on references and relationships, an evaluation helps little - there it is not the document that decides.
In our experience particularly Construction & building services, Mechanical engineering, Professional services. The process itself is sector-independent, though - what matters is whether it repeats.
You tell us where your time goes. We put it in writing: what is worth automating, and roughly what that costs.
