Procurement Bid Evaluator System
Public Sector, Corporate Procurement, Logistics, Legal Compliance, InfrastructureProblem Description
Organizations handling procurement often receive multiple bids for goods or services, which must be evaluated against technical specifications, pricing, past performance, compliance criteria, and more. Manual evaluation is time-consuming, inconsistent, and subject to bias. The Procurement Bid Evaluator System uses AI agents to automate the bid intake, pre-qualification, technical/financial analysis, compliance checks, and scoring—ensuring a fast, fair, and traceable procurement process.
How It Works
Vendors submit bids via a portal or email. The Bid Intake Agent extracts structured data and documents. The Pre-Qualification Agent validates vendor eligibility based on predefined rules. The Technical Evaluator Agent compares specifications with tender requirements. The Financial Evaluator Agent verifies quote breakdowns and pricing accuracy. The Compliance Agent checks for policy adherence. A Scoring Agent compiles results and ranks bids. The Manager Agent consolidates everything and generates a comprehensive evaluation report.
