Bid CompliancePaid featureYours to keep

Check a tender against your product manuals and get the bid's compliance sheet in Excel: what complies, what doesn't, the deviations and the improvements to offer.

What it does

Finds the requirements in the tender's documents: clauses, technical schedules, "shall", "not less than", standards (IEC, IEEE, BS EN, IS and more).
Looks for each one in your product's manuals and datasheets, compares the values (kV, A, kA, mm², IP, °C…), and drafts an answer: complies, partly complies, does not comply, or not stated (check), with where it found it.
Lets you review every answer, mark deviations and improvements, and write questions for the buyer.
Exports an Excel workbook: summary with sign-off (prepared and reviewed by), compliance matrix, deviation schedule, pre-bid queries, documents to submit, key dates (with a calendar file), commercial risks, type test ages and a comparison of your products.
Adds market insight from TenderGrid: similar tenders and their published values, a guide range of what was budgeted, and metal, fuel and currency trends.
Reads scanned PDFs too (text recognition), and puts your company's logo and links in the workbook if you add them.

Where it runs

On a Windows laptop or PC (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). You buy and download it on TenderGrid, on any device. Setup needs the internet once (it downloads about 150 MB: Python and the reading and text-recognition tools); after that the analysis works offline, and only the market insight needs the internet. Your tender files stay on your PC: nothing is uploaded.

Pay once per PC and keep the program: 12 months of updates and market insight are included, and it keeps working after that.

One folder for the tender, one folder per product

Put all the tender's documents in one folder: the notice, the technical specification, the price schedule (BOQ), the conditions of contract, corrigenda and replies to queries.

Put each product's documents in its own folder: its manual, datasheets, drawings, type test reports and certificates.

The program reads each folder as one unit: a mixed folder gives mixed results.

Questions

What does it cost?: Bid Compliance is a paid feature, bought once per PC with PayPal (a PayPal account or a card); PayPal shows the price and the total before you pay. It isn't a subscription.
What do I keep?: The program. Each licence includes 12 months of updates and market insight from TenderGrid; after that the program keeps working with the version you have.
Does it run on a Mac?: No. It needs Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, on a laptop or PC. You can buy it and download it on any device.
Are my tender documents uploaded?: No. The program reads them on your PC. For market insight it sends TenderGrid only its licence code and the words to look for, the country and the currency; never your files.
Does it decide for me?: No. It drafts the answers from your documents and marks what it can't settle as "Not stated, check". You check every answer before the bid goes out; the tender's own documents are what count.
Can I move it to another PC?: Yes. Each licence works on one PC at a time; for a new PC, or Windows installed again, write to help@tendergrid.app and the licence moves.
