Government bidding software
Government bidding softwarebuilt around buyers.

Buyer and competitor statistics
The bid decision stays with you
Public buyers publish what they buy and who wins it. Flow reads that record before your team commits to a bid.
Notices, award results and contracting authority statistics show which buyers fit your offer. The decision to bid stays with your team.
What government bidding asks of a supplier.
Most of the effort in public contracts goes in before the offer is written.
Knowing which buyers purchase what you sell
The same service can appear under different CPV codes and titles, depending on the authority.
Reading a buyer's tender history
Past notices and award results show how often an authority buys and which suppliers it has chosen.
Meeting qualification thresholds
Minimum turnover, similar references and certificates decide whether an offer can be considered.
Following each country's rules
Procedures, declarations and document formats follow EU directives, with national differences.
Frameworks and lots
Many public contracts run as framework agreements, split into lots with their own requirements.
Fixed deadlines
Clarification windows and submission deadlines are set by the authority and apply to every bidder.
How Flow finds and qualifies public buyers.
A street lighting contractor looking for municipal contracts in Spain and Portugal. Flow does the research, and the team decides where to bid.
Describe what you install and maintain. Flow chooses the CPV codes, searches by country, region and value, and shows which authorities publish the notices.
Contracting authority statistics show how much a buyer publishes, which contract types it uses and which CPV codes it tenders under.
Flow loads the country's procurement rules, reads the selection criteria and compares them with your company documents, citing the page for each.
The assessment skill returns Go, Go with conditions or No-go, with the reasons. Flow asks for your decision before it prepares anything.
A scheduled task checks new notices from your chosen contracting authorities every week, and each run opens its own conversation.

27 countries in one search
Tenders from TED and national portals across the EU, 28+ official sources, searched with the same filters.
Questions for the authority, drafted
When a selection criterion is unclear, Flow drafts the clarification request. Your team sends it before the window closes.

For a framework with several lots, Flow proposes a plan and waits for approval. Side agents can work on separate lots.
Two ways into public contracts.
Examples of how a team might start. The research is Flow's, the choices are the team's.
A first public contract
A small installer asks Flow for open lighting tenders in its own region under €1 million, with a deadline far enough away to prepare the offer properly.
Entering a new country
A contractor already bidding in Spain asks Flow to load Portugal's procurement rules, read a sample tender file and list the documents a Portuguese offer would need.

Questions about government bidding software
What is government bidding software?
Software for finding, assessing and preparing bids for contracts published by public authorities. In Tendersight that work goes through Flow, which searches public tenders, reads buyer and competitor statistics, checks selection criteria against your documents and prepares the offer for your team to review.
How does Flow find the right public buyers?
It searches tenders by CPV code, country, region, contract type, value and specific contracting authorities, and reads contracting authority statistics to show how often a buyer publishes and what it buys. Searches can be saved as alerts or run as scheduled tasks.
Can Flow tell us whether we qualify for a tender?
Flow reads the selection criteria in the tender documents, loads the country's procurement rules and compares them with the company documents you provide, citing the page for each point. The assessment skill returns Go, Go with conditions or No-go. The decision, and legal review, stay with your team.
Is it suitable for a first public contract?
Yes. Flow can narrow a search to your region and contract size, list the documents a tender asks for and flag empty company profile fields that public tenders require. Flow is available on every plan, including the free plan.
Which countries and sources does it cover?
Public tenders from all 27 EU countries, from 28+ official sources including TED and national portals such as SEAP in Romania.
What does Flow not do?
It does not submit bids to authority portals, edit notices or guarantee legal correctness, and it sends no email without your approval. It asks for approval before it changes offers, documents or company details, and your team submits the offer.
