Procedure card: check the tender and its documents

You found an interesting order. Before you start preparing the offer, you need a few specifics: who is buying, what the procedure concerns, how much time is left, and what documents need to be read.

In openSales, you open the procedure card and move from basic information to attachments, their preview, and AI analysis.

Check if it is worth going to the details

On the card, you will find the contracting authority, the offer submission deadline, the announcement source, and available information about the order. You can go to the contracting authority's profile, and if the order is divided into parts, check the details of each part.

This is the first step to assessing whether the procedure matches your company's activities and if you have time to prepare a bid.

Browse documents without downloading

You do not have to save every file to your computer. The attachment preview allows you to view the documentation without downloading the file. You can read the necessary entry and decide what requires further attention.

When you need a document for work, you will download it from the list of attachments. Next to the files, you can see their names, sizes, and dates of addition.

See what documents have appeared later

The first version of the documentation may be supplemented with clarifications, a changed form, or modification of the SWZ. If you return to the procedure after a few days, it is worth checking what has been published since your last visit.

The timeline of attachments shows the order of publication and separates:

• original documents;
• attachments added before the bid submission deadline;
• files published after this deadline, including those concerning the results of the procedure.

It is easier to find later documents and determine what needs to be reviewed before preparing an offer. The content of a specific file allows you to check what the change concerns.

Go from documents to AI analysis

Attachments are the basis for automatic AI analysis. In procurement procedures with documentation, you can use a ready-made summary and answers regarding, among other things, the scope of the order, participation conditions, required documents, and contractual penalties.

After updating the documentation, including adding new attachments, the analysis is performed again.

Return to the source when preparing an offer

The card also contains links to the original notice and the website of the organization conducting the procedure. Use them to check the full documentation, current updates, and where to submit bids.
