Kontrad connects fragmented bidder proposals to their relevant requirements and turns them into a decision-ready evaluation.
The Problem

The requirements and proposal inputs that shape an award rarely sit in one place.

Whether evaluating bids or preparing an offer, teams struggle to connect requirements with internal, bidder and subcontractor responses.

  • Critical inputs are buried across documents and organisations

    Requirements, assumptions and commitments are scattered across technical, commercial and pricing files.

    Project impact

    Key positions are omitted, duplicated or reflected inconsistently.

  • Responses are disconnected from requirements

    Teams cannot quickly see which requirements are answered, qualified or unsupported across the supply chain.

    Project impact

    Coverage gaps weaken proposal quality and negotiating leverage.

  • Reviews are fragmented across teams and tools

    Tendering, technical and commercial reviewers work in parallel across email, spreadsheets and document mark-ups.

    Project impact

    Manual reconciliation slows decisions and makes comparisons inconsistent.

  • Decisions lose their evidence trail

    Source evidence, reviewer decisions and resulting changes are rarely connected.

    Project impact

    Unresolved assumptions become rework, delay, disputes and margin pressure.

Observed impact

30–50%

Faster review cycles, with traceability across reviewed inputs.

Observed during a pilot using real project data. Results will vary according to review scope, documents and process.

How It Works

From submission to controlled review in four steps

Replace fragmented coordination with a repeatable, auditable process that captures risk at source.

01

Structure requirements

Start with your own Word or Excel specifications. Kontrad structures the clauses and requirements automatically for review.

02

Collect vendor responses

Vendors respond within the same structured framework, eliminating formatting inconsistencies.

03

Compare submissions clause-by-clause

Automated risk and compliance scoring surfaces gaps, deviations, and non-conformances instantly.

04

Generate executive summaries

Generate compliance summaries and risk assessments ready for executive review and stakeholder sign-off.

Tender Requirements.pdfv24
Aligned

High technical compliance with limited clarification required.

Aligns closely with the tender requirements, with only a minor equipment-configuration clarification outstanding.

5 proposal inputs
Review required

Technically compliant but introduces moderate evaluation uncertainty.

An alternative inverter specification requires equivalency validation, creating more technical evaluation effort than Bidder A.

8 proposal inputs
Review required

Generally compliant submission requiring additional clarification.

Scope clarifications on testing methodology remain outstanding, comparable technical risk to Bidder B with fewer deviations.

6 proposal inputs
Pricing Schedule.xlsxv20
Aligned

Most complete commercial submission with strong pricing comparability.

Pricing response is substantially complete with only one pricing variance to confirm, a lower commercial risk than peers.

3 findings
Review required

Commercial evaluation constrained by incomplete pricing response.

Missing pricing for inverter foundations and provisional quantities reduces comparability against Bidder A.

5 findings
No assessment

Commercial evaluation unavailable.

No pricing submission has been received, so the commercial profile cannot yet be benchmarked against other bidders.

No submission
Contract Terms.docxv18
Review required

Balanced contractual position with moderate negotiation risk.

Accepts most provisions, with delay liquidated damages the principal deviation and a lower contractual risk profile than Bidder B.

6 comments & edits
Material concern

Highest contractual risk profile among evaluated bidders.

Multiple qualifications reduce performance guarantees and cap liability below tender terms, materially higher risk than peers.

9 comments & edits
Aligned

Strong contractual alignment with minimal commercial deviation.

Accepts the majority of provisions with only minor drafting comments, the lowest contractual risk profile of the three bidders.

4 comments & edits

Compare compliance, qualifications, commercial positions and unresolved queries across bidders in one traceable view.
