Description

What it is

The buy-side of a procurement: an issuer (a tenant org, e.g. a hospital group) publishes a notice (consulta / tender), suppliers who follow it bid, and the issuer runs a multi-role assessment chain to a weighted award. Everything re-homes onto existing primitives - Workspaces, claims/G3, Items, process_defs Templates, Records - rather than a bespoke portal. Not a marketplace: context is pushed statelessly (OCDS in, context out); each side keeps its own substrate.

Role-aware nav: issuer accounts (organizations.meta.is_issuer=true) get a Suppliers sidetab in place of Issuers.

What it helps users do

Issuer: publish a notice (which spawns a linked tender workspace with a data room), author requirements by hand or extract them from an uploaded PDF/Excel/PPTX (LLM), pick an evaluation framework (weighted MCDA), maintain a pre-qualified supplier panel, plan dated, assignee-scoped role assessments (each a tracked Item), compare on a framework-weighted score, and award.

Supplier: follow issuers, see their notices, bid (each bid becomes a bid workspace carrying compliance evidence), and receive a WON outcome that also lands in their Records register.

Capabilities

  • OCDS publish

    Generally available

    An OCDS release maps onto an opportunities row and idempotently creates a companion workspace linked both ways, so publishing produces a working data room rather than a listing.

  • Requirements authoring and extraction

    Generally available

    Requirements are claims of the same requires_* shape the supplier side reads, authored by hand or extracted from an uploaded spec by a structured LLM call with a regex fallback.

  • Evaluation framework

    Generally available

    A weighted MCDA definition held as a process_defs spec with criteria keyed to assessment roles, weights and gates, parametrizing the ranking rather than averaging it flat.

  • Multi-role assessment chain

    Generally available

    Dated, assignee-scoped role assessments, each mirrored as a tracked item so an evaluation obligation appears where that person already works.

  • Pre-qualified supplier panel

    Generally available

    Approved, conditional and rejected supplier tiers, shaped for later automatic classification but maintained by hand today.

  • Award hand-off

    Generally available

    Award flips the winning bid to WON, pushes a WON workspace and award letter to the supplier, and writes the contract into the supplier's own Records register.
