A Walloon HVAC company specialized in social-housing public procurement was drowning in manual tender work. Every bid meant days of repetitive document analysis, pricing from memory, and compliance checks by hand. We built an end-to-end AI platform that transformed their entire tender response cycle.

The Challenge

3–4 days of manual preparation per tender

All pricing knowledge locked in one expert's head — impossible to scale

0% of pricing structured, traceable, or analyzed

150–400 historical tender files sitting unused in Google Drive

Constant risk of disqualification for missing documents or wrong certifications

The Solution — Five AI Engines Working Together

Tender Reader

Reads every tender PDF and extracts structured data — lot, location, deadline, certification class, criteria, required documents — into clean JSON ready for analysis.

Pricing Engine

Generates optimized pricing schedules by reasoning over 150–400 historical files, adjusting for geography, season, complexity, and competitive positioning.

Technical Writer

Drafts the full technical memorandum tailored to each specific tender, following validated templates and compliance requirements.

Win Score

Calculates the probability of winning with five explainable factors: price positioning, certification match, zone, estimated bidder count, and price-vs-quality weighting.

Reality Loop

After each project, compares estimated costs vs. executed vs. invoiced — closing the feedback loop and making every future bid smarter.
