Automated Bid Evaluation
Across construction, materials and engineering domains — upload the whole bid pack — specs, returns, drawings, scanned addenda. Sophia returns a side-by-side comparison with every risk flagged and every obligation traced to its source line.
Bid comparison
Every obligation priced across every bidder, compared apples-to-apples — the comparison that decides the award.
Risk & compliance flags
Silence, contradictions, and missing documents surfaced — the gaps a deadline-night review skims past.
Traced to source
Each requirement links to the verbatim line it came from, so nothing rests on the assistant’s word alone.

Meet Sophia
Surface the risks that decide the bid — traced back to their source.
Sophia is the bid-analysis assistant that reads the tenders, specs, and submissions you upload — then shows her working. Each obligation is traced to the line it came from, so the risks a deadline-night review skims past are surfaced, not summarised away.
- Obligations trace back to their sourceEach requirement, price, and qualification links back to the verbatim line it came from — so nothing on the page rests on the assistant’s word alone.
- Silence and contradictions get flaggedWhere a bidder omits a clause, prices nothing, or quietly qualifies the scope, Sophia raises it — the gaps a skim-read leaves buried.
- The whole pack, start to finishAcross hundreds of pages and the full document set — with the same attention on page 300 as on page one.
No flashy verdict — just the evidence and a status, ready for your team to act on.
Save time — Sophia reads every document, in any format.
Bids, specs, drawings, spreadsheets, emails, scanned PDFs — drop the whole bid pack in and Sophia reads all of it, images and scans included via OCR. No reformatting, no sorting, no copy-paste.

See the whole picture
Manually reviewing documents and generic assistant tools miss answers or quietly drop the requirements that decide the bid. Bid review is too high-stakes for either failure mode — so we built something to fix it.
- Every obligation traces back to a verbatim source quote
- Nothing is dropped — silence and contradictions are flagged, not skipped
- You spend your time deciding, not double-checking the assistant
- Pay-as-you-go, no lock-in — export your data and walk away anytime

Designed to support your work — you stay in the chair.
Sophia is built to back your judgement, not replace it. She does the heavy reading, surfaces what matters, and hands you the evidence — so the bid stays yours to call, with the busywork lifted off your desk.
- Fits the way you already workSophia slots into the review you already run — no new process to learn, just the reading and cross-checking done for you.
- Everything stays checkableEach obligation links to the verbatim line it came from, so you can trust the output without taking the assistant’s word for it.
- You make the final callSophia advises and flags; she never decides. The judgement, the award, and the sign-off stay with your team.
Every document stays in your own private, UK-hosted database — isolated to your team, encrypted at rest, and never used to train a model.
Beautifully crafted
Built by estimators, QSs, and engineers who have lived inside ITT packs and bid returns for years. Every interaction is shaped by what real bid teams actually do at 9pm on a deadline — not by a generic assistant workflow.
- Domain-first. Designed around the way construction scope, exclusions, and qualifications really get written.
- Quiet by default. No flashy summaries — just the evidence and a status, so you can move fast and stay honest.
- Built to be read. Every screen earns its place; nothing on a page exists just to look busy.
