The research behind a bid decision becomes a question you ask Flow.
Flow reads the statistics on the contracting authority and on the companies you are likely to meet, and adds web research with sources. Your team decides what the numbers mean for the bid.
What is procurement intelligence?
Public procurement data, read with one question in mind: is this tender worth bidding for?
Procurement intelligence is the use of public procurement data to decide where and how to bid: which contracting authorities buy what you sell, which companies you are likely to meet, and how active those companies are in your categories and regions.
In the EU, where public buyers spend more than €2 trillion a year, most of this information is public but spread across TED and national portals. Tendersight collects notices from 27 EU countries, and Flow, the Tendersight agent, reads the statistics built on them in a conversation.
The intelligence informs the decision. Whether to bid, and at what price, stays with your team.
