Kontrad is a procurement evaluation platform that helps project and PMC teams align vendor scope, compare BOQs and rates, and identify execution risks before contract award. It structures requirements from Word or Excel, collects vendor responses in a unified framework, and scores submissions clause-by-clause for compliance and risk. The platform integrates with Microsoft Word and works alongside existing document management systems like Aconex and SharePoint.

Problem
Execution risk in projects often begins before mobilisation, during fragmented procurement reviews where vendor inputs are scattered across email, Excel, and markups. This leads to weak traceability of decisions, manual reconciliation delays, and unresolved scope ambiguities that become change orders and disputes during delivery. Without clause-level scrutiny, vendors can submit on favourable assumptions, eroding margins through uncaught scope gaps.
Solution
Kontrad provides a controlled review environment that helps project teams align vendor inputs, identify deviations early, and produce decision-ready outputs before contract award. The platform structures requirements from Word or Excel specifications, collects vendor responses within the same framework, and automatically scores submissions for risk and compliance. It includes a Collaboration Matrix for comparing multiple vendors, a Word Add-in for reviewing submissions in-place, and automated generation of executive summaries and risk assessments. Kontrad is designed to slot into existing workflows without replacing document management systems like Aconex or SharePoint.
Target Audience
Primary customers are project teams and PMC (Project Management Consultant) teams working on major infrastructure, energy, and engineering projects who need to manage multi-vendor procurement reviews.
