What matters for your next bid
Use market history to choose where to compete, then build your offer around the tender documents. Check who buys comparable work, which suppliers appear in the results and how much price information is available. Open each finding for practical checks before you bid.
Among the busiest buyers: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, vertreten durch das Bundesministerium des Innern, vertreten durch das Beschaffungsamt des BMI, Universitätsklinikum Münster.
Before you bid
- Map each requirement to an existing feature, configuration task or development deliverable, identifying gaps and acceptance evidence.
- Review the buyer’s previous notices and available award results. Distinguish a new procedure from an amendment, republication or individual lot; previous awards do not guarantee a future contract.
Repeated appearances are not a win rate: the number of bids this supplier submitted is not known.
Before you bid
- Clarify licence metrics, third-party dependencies, source-code rights where requested, and what the buyer retains after termination.
- 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.
Value statistics cover priced records, not total spending across the market.
Before you bid
- Include implementation, migration, licences, support and exit arrangements. Explain how user growth, additional modules or usage-based charging change the cost over the required contract period.
- Cost the full contract period and state your volume assumptions. Before submission, check delivery milestones, acceptance, attachments, signatures and the procurement portal’s instructions.
Functional evidence
Map each requirement to an existing feature, configuration task or development deliverable, identifying gaps and acceptance evidence.

Licensing and ownership
Clarify licence metrics, third-party dependencies, source-code rights where requested, and what the buyer retains after termination.

Frequently asked questions
Otnox is an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform. We aggregate public tenders from 90 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.
90 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 90 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.
Yes. A free account gives you search, tender details and buyer summaries. Winner identities, winning prices and the full intelligence require a pass.
