Beyond Keyword Search
Traditional tender monitoring relies on keyword matching and CPV code filters. You define a set of terms — "software development," "cloud infrastructure," "consulting" — and the system returns tenders containing those words. The problem? You miss opportunities described differently and get buried in irrelevant results that happen to contain your keywords.
How AI Matching Works
AI-powered matching takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of matching words, it matches meaning. Here's how Tender Radar's system works:
Step 1: Company Profiling. You provide your company website URL. Our AI analyses your site, extracting information about your services, capabilities, past projects, certifications, and geographic presence. This creates a rich, multi-dimensional profile.
Step 2: Tender Analysis. When a new tender is published, our AI processes the full notice — title, description, requirements, and specifications. It understands the underlying need, not just the surface-level keywords.
Step 3: Semantic Scoring. The AI compares the tender's requirements against your company profile, generating a relevance score from 0 to 100. A high score means strong alignment between what the buyer needs and what you offer.
Why Semantic Matching Matters
Consider a company that builds enterprise resource planning systems. A keyword filter for "ERP" would catch obvious matches. But it would miss a tender for "integrated management information system for municipal operations" — which is essentially the same thing described differently. Semantic AI catches these connections.
The Explainability Factor
Raw scores aren't enough. Teams need to understand why a tender scored highly to make informed bid/no-bid decisions. Tender Radar provides match explanations that highlight which aspects of your profile aligned with the tender requirements, helping you quickly assess whether to invest time in a detailed review.
Continuous Learning
Your profile isn't static. As you update your website, add new case studies, or expand into new service areas, the AI automatically re-profiles your business. The matching evolves with your business without requiring manual configuration changes.
