The build, in order

Shipped, in progress, and next

A single timeline from what is live in production today to the research shaping the next twelve months. Each phase is anchored to a specific UK or EU regulatory driver, so the plan is deterministic, not speculative.

  1. Phase 1

    Live now

    Q2 2026

    CrowMark is in production today, in both variants: for suppliers and for buyers. It reads the source regulation directly, so the output you stand behind traces back to a rule rather than to a model.

    • CrowMark for Suppliers

      Contracts Finder and Find a Tender refreshed daily, with prior information notices and framework or dynamic market expiry dates so a pipeline is visible before a tender opens. Upload the whole tender pack and get it briefed rather than read cover to cover. Drafting is grounded in your own submitted bids and answer library, with version history, diff, restore and track changes on every answer. Configurable review gates take bid or no bid as gate zero. Deterministic social-value calculation, post-award delivery evidence, and Procurement Act 2023 s.52 and s.71 KPI checks.

    • CrowMark for Buyers

      Build and publish requirements against a deterministic social value rubric, then locate the evidence for each one across every response received, quoted verbatim or dropped. CrowMark organises. Your evaluation panel scores. After award it keeps going: the commitments made in the winning bid become a tracked supplier profile, with scorecards, periodic review sessions, a risk radar, concerns and their corrective actions, a benefit and value realisation tracker, and a due diligence workspace.

  2. Phase 2

    Live now

    Q3 2026

    Delivered in Q3 2026. Security and access work that builds on CrowMark.

    • Passkeys (WebAuthn)

      Windows Hello and Touch ID in place of a typed code, as an alternative second factor on your CrowMark account. One passkey covers the app and the portal, and you can list and revoke your credentials in settings.

    • Deeper grounded auto-fill (public sector)

      CrowMark's grounded drafting reads the buyer's own published priorities alongside your uploaded evidence, and proposes social value narratives that cite what they came from for you to approve or edit. The model proposes, you decide.

  3. Phase 3

    Researching, not committed

    No committed date

    Early research, not yet committed engineering. Anchored to live regulation rather than speculation.

    • Regulatory Monitor (public sector)

      A live UK public procurement regulatory change feed. Material updates to PPN 026 and the Procurement Act 2023 flow straight into the CrowMark dashboard, so you act, not just read.

    • Tender reasoning copilot (public sector)

      One statute-grounded assistant that reasons across PPN 026 and the Procurement Act 2023 at once, answering bid questions and citing the named regulation behind every line. Retrieval-grounded against the source law, never free-styling the legislation.

  4. Later

    Researching, not committed

    No committed date

    On the radar beyond the next twelve months.

    • Enterprise OIDC connectors

      SAML 2.0 single sign-on, with SCIM provisioning and DNS domain verification, is live today and covers any provider that speaks SAML. This adds OIDC as a second protocol for the identity providers that prefer it.

The intelligence layer

How the AI actually works

CrowMark is not a chatbot wrapped around a regulation. It runs a deterministic scoring engine first. Large language models do the writing and explaining on top, grounded in the named statute. The model proposes a draft, you review and sign it off.

  • Live today

    Deterministic engine, then narrative

    The numbers come from code, not a model. Social-value scoring and Procurement Act 2023 s.52 and s.71 KPI checks are computed deterministically. The language model is the last step: it turns that computed result into a readable narrative or report draft. It never invents the figure.

  • Live today

    Two models, two jobs

    Customer-facing drafting (CrowMark bid narratives) runs on Google Gemini. Heavier reasoning and analysis tasks run on Anthropic's Claude. Both are used as data sub-processors under signed DPAs. Your prompts are not used to train their foundation models. The full list is on the privacy page.

  • Live today

    Grounded in the source law

    CrowMark reads the actual regulation it serves: PPN 026, the next edition of the Social Value Model, published 5 August 2026 and applying to central government procurements commenced on or after 1 January 2027 at 1 million pounds inc VAT or above, and the Procurement Act 2023 sections 52 and 71 for delivery KPIs. Outputs cite the named instrument so the claim is auditable rather than asserted.

  • Live today

    A human signs every output

    Under Article 22 UK GDPR, CrowAgent makes no solely-automated decision with legal effect about anyone. AI drafts are advisory. You review, edit and approve before a single word reaches a bid, a report or a buyer. The model proposes. You decide.

Where the AI work is heading

  • Live now

    Deeper grounded auto-fill (public sector)

    Shipped. CrowMark drafts grounded bid answers from your own submitted bids and answer library, and now reads the buyer's own published priorities alongside your uploaded evidence to propose social value narratives, each suggestion citing what it drew on for you to approve or edit.

  • Researching, not committed

    Tender reasoning copilot (public sector)

    Early research, not committed engineering. One assistant that reasons across PPN 026 and the Procurement Act 2023 at once, answering bid questions and citing the named regulation behind every line. It would be retrieval-grounded against the source law, never free-styling the legislation.

  • Researching, not committed

    Regulatory monitor feed (public sector)

    A live UK public procurement regulatory change feed so material updates to PPN 026 and the Procurement Act 2023 surface in the CrowMark dashboard, with the model summarising what changed and what it means for your existing work. Research stage only.

We will not ship a model that free-styles the law. Every AI feature keeps a deterministic engine underneath, and narrative generation is the last step, never the source. That is a fixed design rule, not a phase.

Methodology

How we decide what to ship next

Every CrowAgent product traces back to a UK or EU regulation that already exists or has already passed Royal Assent. No speculative tools, and no chasing whatever is loudest this quarter.

  1. Regulatory deadlines

    A statutory instrument with a date attached (PPN 026 applying from 1 January 2027, Procurement Act 2023 commencement) earns a slot before anything else.

  2. Demand-led

    When the same need comes up repeatedly from the teams we talk to, it moves up the plan. We prioritised post-award delivery evidence because Procurement Act 2023 KPI checks were the most-requested capability adjacent to our social value work.

  3. Adjacency to a live product

    Post-award delivery evidence sits next to bid drafting because the same team that wins the tender also has to prove KPI performance under Procurement Act 2023 sections 52 and 71.

  4. Where the edge sits

    CrowAgent does not try to out-feature every bid-writing tool on the market. The edge is grounded, statute-cited accuracy.

Scope discipline

What we won't build

Honesty about scope is part of the deal. We actively decide against patterns that diverge from our regulatory anchor.

  • EPR / WEEE / Packaging Tax

    These are real regulations but adjacent to a buyer CrowAgent does not currently serve. Maybe in 2027, but not on the current roadmap.

  • Hallucinating AI copilots

    Every AI feature in the platform has a deterministic engine underneath. Narrative generation is the last step, never the source.

Regulatory clock

Deadlines on the radar

The dates the plan above is anchored to, with the instrument each one comes from.

  • Aug 2026

    PPN 026 Social Value (applies from 1 January 2027)

    The next edition of the Social Value Model, published on GOV.UK on 5 August 2026. It applies to central government procurements commenced on or after 1 January 2027, at 1 million pounds inc VAT or above. CrowMark computes social value in code over a curated catalogue of TOMs-aligned measures.

PPN 026 was published on 5 August 2026 and applies to central government procurements commenced on or after 1 January 2027. Both dates, and the instruments behind them, are on sources.
