Built with and deployed at India's most demanding organisations

From ₹500 crore PSU tenders to municipal compliance audits — one platform, every evaluation.

Why we built this

Procurement teams are good at their jobs.
The paperwork gets in the way.

We built Tender Intel because we saw how much time skilled procurement officers were spending just reading — not evaluating, not deciding, just reading. We think AI can take that burden off their plate and give them time back to do what they're actually good at.

When you're reading hundreds of pages across many bids, things get missed. It happens to everyone. Tender Intel checks everything, every time, so you don't have to worry about it.

Two good officers can read the same bid and reach different conclusions. Tender Intel evaluates consistently against your criteria, whoever is in the room — and keeps a clean record of every decision in case anyone asks later.

Ten bids is manageable. Twenty-five is a different problem altogether. Tender Intel handles the volume so your team doesn't have to. It works alongside your officers, not instead of them — if someone is away, the evaluation doesn't stop, and the process stays on track.

Every evaluation is logged: what was checked, where the evidence was found, who approved it and when. Clean, complete, and ready if anyone asks.

We believe AI should free procurement teams from administration — not replace their judgement. That's exactly what Tender Intel is designed to do.

Tender Intel is live at CPCL (IndianOil Group) — a Fortune 500 PSU. 7 bidders, 350 pages, 23 criteria, done in 20 minutes. Their team told us the page references alone save them hours.
What Tender Intel does

Say hello to your
AI evaluation assistant.

Tender Intel works with your existing process — your templates, your criteria, your way of doing things. You upload your documents and your evaluation checklist. We do the reading. You do the deciding. It's that straightforward.

01Your TemplateExcel format
02Their DocumentsPDFs / Scans
03Completed EvaluationWith page references

No new formats to learn. No new workflows to adopt. No retraining.
Your officers stay in charge — every result can be reviewed, changed, or flagged. Your team makes the final call, always.

What Makes Us Different

Not a chatbot. A document evaluation engine.

OCR scanning a stamped, handwritten government document
01OCR + Vision AI tuned for Indian bureaucracy

It Actually Reads Scanned Documents

Not just clean digital PDFs. Scanned pages. Photocopied certificates with stamps half-visible. Handwritten notes in margins. Faded government letterheads from 2018. Regional language text on registration documents. Rubber stamps at odd angles. Our OCR pipeline is tuned specifically for the reality of Indian government and PSU document submission because that's the only reality that matters.

Generic AI breaks on page 3 of a scanned tender. We process all 350.

Evaluation cell linked to the source page where evidence was found
02Traceable evidence, not black-box assertions

Every Answer Has a Page Reference

When the AI says "Compliant," it doesn't just assert it. It says: "Compliant Document 3, Page 14." Click it. The source page opens. Verify in seconds. Every single cell in the evaluation table is linked to the exact page where the evidence was found or marked "Not Found" with a confidence score if the AI couldn't locate it.

This isn't a luxury feature. It's an RTI requirement.

Officer approving, overriding, and flagging AI-suggested evaluation cells
03AI suggests. Humans decide. Always.

Your Officers Stay in Control

Every evaluation cell can be approved, overridden, or flagged by the reviewing officer. The AI doesn't make decisions it fills out the paperwork so your officers can focus on judgement. Full audit trail with timestamps for every action: who approved what, when, and what the AI originally suggested.

The officer's authority is never undermined. It's amplified.

How it works

Simple to use, and it fits around your existing process.

Five steps. No training required. Works with the documents and templates you already have.

01

Upload your documents

Add your bidder documents and your evaluation checklist. No reformatting needed — just upload what you have.

02

We read everything

Tender Intel goes through every page — scanned, handwritten, stamped, or digital. Nothing gets skipped.

03

We check every criterion

Each item in your checklist is assessed and given a confidence level, so your officers know where to look first.

04

Your team reviews

A clear, colour-coded table shows the results. Click any cell to see where the answer came from. Approve, change, or flag as needed.

05

Export and you're done

Download the completed evaluation in your usual Excel or PDF format. Ready to submit and fully auditable.

AI Transparency

The AI tells you how sure it is. You decide what to do.

Most AI systems give you a yes or a no. Tender Intelligence gives you a confidence score because in government procurement, the difference between "definitely found" and "probably found" is the difference between a clean evaluation and a CVC inquiry.

High85–100%

Strong match. Clear evidence found on a specific page.

Officer ActionQuick approve verify if needed
Medium60–84%

Likely match. Some ambiguity in the document.

Officer ActionReview the evidence page
Low30–59%

Weak signal. The information might be there.

Officer ActionInvestigate thoroughly
Not Found0–29%

Not found in submitted documents.

Officer ActionConfirm non-submission

We'd rather say "Not Found" when it exists than say "Found"when it doesn't. Conservative by design. Because in public procurement, a false positive is far more dangerous than a false negative.

Why Us

Purpose-built for Indian procurement. Not retrofitted.

Generic AI was built in San Francisco for English-language, born-digital documents. Indian government procurement runs on scanned photocopies, rubber stamps, handwritten notes, regional languages, and Excel templates passed down through three department heads. We built for that reality.

01

Scanned & Handwritten

Specialised OCR tuned for Indian government documents stamps, seals, handwritten annotations, faded photocopies, and regional language text on certificates.

02

Page-Level Evidence

Every AI answer is linked to the exact source page. Click to verify in seconds. Not an optional feature it's the foundation of every evaluation.

03

On-Premise Deployment

Fully secure, air-gapped deployment on your own servers. Data never leaves your network perimeter. Zero internet dependency for processing.

04

RTI Audit Trail

Append-only, tamper-proof logs. Every evaluation, every officer action, every override timestamped and traceable. Designed for RTI and CVC scrutiny.

05

Data Sovereignty

Deploy on Indian government-approved servers. Zero data retention post-evaluation. No data used for model training. Aligned with DPDP Act 2023.

06

Model Flexibility

Supports Claude, GPT-4, DeepSeek, Kimi, or fully air-gapped open-source models. Choose your AI provider. Change it anytime. No vendor lock-in.

Implementation

From “Let's do this” to live in 8 weeks.

We deploy on your timeline, with your documents, against your templates. No generic setup. No 18-month integration projects.

Weeks 1–3

Discovery & Configuration

We study your document types, evaluation templates, and officer workflows. The AI is trained on your specific formats your tenders, your criteria, your edge cases.

Week 4

Pilot Run

The system runs on 2–3 real past evaluations alongside your existing manual process. Your officers compare results side-by-side. We measure accuracy against their completed evaluations.

Weeks 5–8

Refinement & Go-Live

Tune accuracy based on pilot feedback. Add edge cases. Deploy to production infrastructure. Train the team. Full handover with documentation.

No commitment until the pilot proves itself on YOUR documents. We run the AI on your past evaluations you judge the results.
Get Started

Try it on your own documents, for free.

We know the best way to see if something works is to try it yourself. Send us a few past evaluations and we'll run Tender Intel on them. You can compare the results with your own team's work and see what you think. No pressure, no commitment.

We're a small team that cares about getting this right. If it's not working for you, we want to know.
