Specification Guide Agent

The specification is long. Only someone who reads all of it finds what fits.

Pre-reads specifications of services and finds the items that match your product range.

Two days of reading for the forty items that count in the end.

The specification arrives as a PDF from the e-procurement platform, structured by trade rather than by your product range. Whoever reads it checks every item against the product master and translates the contracting authority's description into the company's own terms. If several tenders land in the same week, reading time decides which ones get handled at all.

900itemsThat is how many lines the specification for this tender contains.
6tradesOnly two of the six trades touch your product range.
40matching itemsThese two trades leave around forty items the company can supply.
2 daysof reading timeFinding these forty currently takes two working days of an experienced specialist.

The tender specialist ends up reading 60% less, because the forty items arrive with references instead of the full 900 lines.

The 60% reduction in reading time per tender is this agent's headline figure. Around forty matching items out of 900 is a typical profile for a specification; the figure was not counted.

Three steps through the process.

The agent pulls the items the company can supply out of the specification, with references; sales weighs up whether the bid is worth it.

Break the specification down into items

The agent reads the specification from the e-procurement platform and splits it into individual items with number, text and quantity. It keeps preliminary notes and annexes separate.

Match items to the product master

The agent checks every item text against your product master and flags full and partial matches. For every match it gives the item number and the product number.

40 items matched, 9 of them partial matches with differing details

Hand the reference list to the specialist

The agent puts the matched items in a list with page number and item number. The tender specialist reads only this list.

What the agent does not do.

It does not submit a bid for the tender.

It presents the matching items with references. Sales decides whether the company bids.

It does not judge whether an item is technically feasible.

For partial matches, it notes how the item differs from your own product. The sales engineer clarifies feasibility with the costing team.

Answers from the bidder Q&A only reach it once they are in the specification.

If a bidder answer changes an item description, the new version of the specification has to be loaded again.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Specification Guide Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 6 to 8 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “60% less reading time per tender” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
