Bid and tender software, supplier and buyer
Qualify. Draft. Prove it.
A missed deadline or an unmet mandatory requirement ends a bid before it is scored. CrowAgent finds them in the tender, and traces every figure to evidence you already hold.
- 3.1 The supplier must provide a named account manager for the duration of the contract.
- 3.2 Tenderers shall submit a method statement of no more than 500 words.
- 3.3 Responses must be received by 12:00 on 14 March 2026.
- Read 3 lines
- Match 3 requirements stated, 1 closing date, 1 response limit
- Hold Each row is the clause verbatim. Whether you can meet it is not its call.
- Quality will be scored at 60% and price at 40% of the total award.
- Bidders must hold Cyber Essentials Plus certification at the point of award.
- Social value is weighted at 10% in line with PPN 026.
- Read 3 lines
- Match 3 requirements stated, 3 weightings totalling 110%
- Hold They add up to 110%, so these read as sub-criteria. No total is asserted.
- The authority spent 40% of its budget with local firms last year.
- We are proud of our track record and hope suppliers will share our ambition.
- Read 2 lines
- Match 0 requirements stated
- Hold It found 40% and refused it. A figure outside evaluation context is not a weighting.
UK public procurement
The engine that refuses to make things up.
The hardest market to bluff in is the one with a published rulebook, so it is the one the engine is proved against. CrowAgent reads both UK registers, drafts answers cited to the published requirement, to your own past bids and to commitments you have confirmed, and evidences delivery after award.
The same engine runs a private-sector bid. What changes is the rulebook it cites, not the standard of proof.
- A bid is not a forecast, so no win probability is invented.
- Every figure traces to a commitment you confirmed. Anything else is removed, not estimated.
- A named person signs off. The engine never clears its own gate.
Refusal gate
A figure with nothing behind it does not survive the draft.
Every pound and every percentage in a CrowAgent answer is computed from a commitment you have confirmed. If the commitment is not there, the claim is taken out before a named human reviews the answer.
The contract will also deliver local supply chain spend across the term.
Refused No recorded commitment sits behind the figure.

How it runs
Five stages, and one of them is a refusal.
The gate is not a filter bolted on at the end. It sits between the draft and the human who signs it, and it is the only stage whose job is to remove work rather than produce it.
-
Find
Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, read continuously and scored against the evidence you hold.
-
Qualify
Fit, component by component, with the reason for each. Stated as context, never as a probability of award.
-
Draft
Answers grounded in your answer library, the published requirement and your confirmed commitments.
-
Refuse
Any figure without a recorded commitment behind it is taken out of the draft before review.
-
Evidence
After award, each commitment is tracked to the dated evidence that proves it, month by month.
The product
One tender, from notice to evidence.
Five screens along the same contract: finding the notice, deciding whether to bid, drafting the answers, evaluating the responses, and proving delivery afterwards. The wording each screen carries is on the screen, where a reader cannot miss it.
-
Notices you could actually win the argument on.
Both UK registers are read: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. Relevance is scored against the evidence you already hold rather than against the words in the notice, and the register a notice came from is named on the notice, so the trail out to the source is one click and not a search.
Relevance is a sorting aid. It is not a forecast of anything.
-
Fit, broken into its parts, with the reason attached.
The score is decomposed component by component, each with a band, a points total and a one-line reason you can argue with. What it is not is stated on the screen itself, in the product, where a reader cannot miss it.
-
The drafter is told where a figure may come from.
The tender is split into its scored questions, each with its category, word limit and weighting. The boundary the drafter works inside runs across the top of the screen and is not a setting anyone can turn off.
-
It finds the passage. It does not set the band.
One criterion against one response. The supplier is quoted verbatim and the quote is cited to a section and a page of the response document, so an evaluator checks a reference rather than trusting a summary. The band, and the audit line under it, belong to a named person.
-
A commitment is only worth the evidence filed against it.
Promises made at award are carried forward as measures, and each measure collects dated evidence against it month by month. The same view carries the next assessment date for each contract, which is the part of the duty that is easiest to lose track of and the hardest to explain later.
Each contract reads on track, at risk or behind against the evidence received, not against a projection. Suppliers see the other half of this: the same commitments, with the upload that proves each one.
Both sides of the table
Read from either end.
The supplier writing the answer and the authority evaluating it are working on the same passage. It should be the same passage, cited the same way, on both screens.
-
Supplier: Which measures apply
Requirement
Authority: Publish the rubric
-
Supplier: Answer from your library
Evaluation
Authority: Located word for word, or dropped
-
Supplier: Deliver what was priced
After award
Authority: Audit the commitment
Run the real engine
Watch it refuse a figure.
If a figure cannot be traced, the engine refuses it. A generative tool asked for a number it does not have will produce a plausible one. CrowAgent does the opposite, and it does it visibly.
-
Retrieve
The published question is read with its wording intact.
-
Ground
Every figure is matched to a confirmed commitment. One is not, and is dropped here.
-
Compute
What survives is computed from those commitments, never generated.
-
Check
The draft is counted against what it claimed: four asked for, three traced.
-
Cite
Each surviving figure carries its source, and a named person approves it.

This contract will create four new roles for local residents, each carried at £27,000 per year from a commitment you confirmed, £108,000 across the term, alongside local supply chain spend in the borough.
- four new roles Commitment · local employment · 4 roles Traced

- £108,000 Computed · 4 × £27,000 Traced
- local supply chain spend No recorded commitment Refused
Refused "local supply chain spend" has no recorded commitment, so it carries no figure. The draft keeps the clause and an empty, highlighted field for a person to fill or remove.

local supply chain spend
No recorded commitment, so it carries no figure. The total above is the same with it as
without it.
The untraced claim is removed before a named approver reads the draft. A person signs off, not the software.
