Problem
Planning offices spend extensive time manually searching over 120 public procurement portals, reading lengthy tender documents, and manually matching and preparing reference data, leading to high labor costs, missed opportunities, and frequent form errors that cause bid rejections.
Solution
VOUND provides an AI-driven platform that automates the entire public tender workflow for architectural and engineering firms. The system continuously crawls more than 120 procurement portals, extracts and classifies tender requirements, and checks compliance against regulatory rules. It then matches the firm’s reference projects to the tender’s minimum and additional criteria, automatically populates the required forms, and validates the application for completeness and correctness. All data—including project, personnel, and certification information—is centrally stored and kept up to date, enabling teams to generate a ready‑to‑submit tender package in minutes instead of hours. The platform is GDPR‑ and EU‑AI‑compliant, ensuring data protection while increasing bid volume and win rates.
Target Audience
Primary customers are architectural and engineering planning offices that regularly respond to public construction and infrastructure contracts and need to streamline their tender preparation process.
