Bid intelligence
Bid intelligence produces a research dossier on a single opportunity to help you decide how to position and team for the bid. It lives on the opportunity’s Intelligence tab.
What the dossier covers
The agent researches four areas:
- Project deep-dive — the background, objectives, scope, funding context, and the strategic context behind the specific procurement.
- Key people — named individuals likely involved (project directors, programme managers, evaluators, contracting-authority contacts) and why each matters.
- Competitors and partners — firms likely to bid against you, and firms that would make strong joint-venture or subcontract partners.
- Suppliers and consultants — specialist firms and individual consultants who could strengthen your bid.
The report comes back as a structured dossier with a project summary, key facts, people, competitors/partners, suppliers, and a list of sources.
Deep dives
From any section of the dossier you can request a deep dive — a focused, in-depth analysis of just that aspect (the project, the people, the competitors, the partners, or the suppliers), going far beyond the summary.
Grounded vs. ungrounded
Bid intelligence is most valuable when it is grounded in live web search, so it can cite current, verifiable facts. Whether grounding happens depends on the AI provider you have chosen for this feature:
- Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter support web-search grounding.
- Local models cannot perform web search, so the report falls back to ungrounded
generation. It is still produced, but it draws only on the model’s own knowledge, and
the report is flagged
grounded: false.
See the AI providers page for the full grounding support matrix, and the Local LLM page for what this means when running on your own hardware.
Where it runs
Generation runs as a durable background job, so you can navigate away and come back — the report keeps working and is marked complete when finished.
