· the playbook
How to prepare your construction materials bid
Match every material to the design, quantity schedule and intended application. Resolve specification conflicts before offering substitutes or calculating the delivered price.
Include transport, unloading, protective storage and the effect of split deliveries. State how packaging units, waste allowances and changing quantities are reflected in pricing.
Build a compliance matrix linking each mandatory requirement to your solution, supporting evidence and responsible colleague. Resolve conflicting documents before the deadline for clarification questions.
Specification matching
Check grades, dimensions and performance requirements against drawings and item descriptions; document accepted equivalents.
Evidence and traceability
Provide required product declarations, batch records and test results for the supplied materials.
Site logistics
Confirm delivery slots, access limitations, unloading equipment and protection against damage or weather.
Quantity and defects
Clarify measurement units, short-delivery handling and the process for replacing nonconforming or damaged stock.
Frequently asked questions
Otnox is an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform. We aggregate public tenders from 80+ markets on six continents into one dashboard, score every notice against your business profile, profile the buyers behind them, and translate everything into your working language. Built for sales teams, consultants and bid managers who sell to government.
80+ markets and counting: most of the EU (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Poland, Germany, France, Spain and more), the UK, the US and Canada, Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda) and Asia-Pacific (Australia, India, Indonesia, Taiwan). Every feed comes from the country's official procurement portal, and new markets are added monthly.
Minutes after publication on the official portal. We track over a million tenders with thousands of new notices arriving daily, and alert you by Telegram, Slack or email the moment something matches your profile.
You describe your business once: what you sell, where you deliver, your typical deal size. The AI scores every incoming tender from 0 to 100 against that profile, so you read the handful that matter instead of scrolling keyword noise. Matching follows the buyer as an organization too, so renamed or re-spelled entities never slip past your monitors.
A behavioral profile of every public buyer: procurement history, how often they re-tender, average contract sizes by category, repeat winners and verified contacts. You know how a buyer behaves before you spend a week on the bid.
No. One click translates any tender, and the interface itself speaks multiple languages. A Finnish tender reads like it was published in English, Italian, Romanian, Ukrainian or Dutch, and the translation is saved permanently.
Every market uses its own taxonomy: CPV in Europe, NAICS in North America, UNSPSC and national systems elsewhere. Otnox maps more than 47,000 codes into one universal category layer, so a single search covers all 80+ markets at once.
Directly from each country's official government procurement portal. No scraped aggregators, no stale mirrors. You always see the original notice with a link back to the source.
