AI Bid Analysis Assistant

Client: International engineering consultancy.

Challenge: Optimize how much time senior specialists spend on bid analysis.

Solution: Configure one of salesXplore’s functional AI agents to perform bid analysis in the engineering consulting industry.

Bid Analysis Bottlenecks

Bid analysis consumes the time and resources of senior engineers that the client would rather bill to projects.

Once a new engineering consulting bid arrives, it usually contains hundreds of pages of technical specifications, regulatory conditions, and commercial terms from several jurisdictions.

Senior engineers need to examine every line of the document, draw up compliance matrices by hand, and assess risks before making a bid/no-bid decision.

Can AI Be as Effective as a Highly Qualified Engineer?

The client wanted to know whether AI could take over the first stage of bid analysis and deliver the same quality as a senior engineer would. 

Softengi set up a dedicated salesXplore AI agent in the client’s bidding ecosystem. It was tasked to cover the entire analysis pipeline, from document intake to bid/no-bid recommendation. 

salesXplore covered bids of different types and levels of complexity, including an airport infrastructure project, a foreign resort development, and regional energy and infrastructure construction projects. 

An AI agent was configured to process technical, environmental, regulatory, and commercial requirements, documents in different languages, and EU procurement terminology.

Softengi also implemented an AI-powered chat for questions related to bidding documents and a knowledge base to store reusable company content.
