Publican uses machine learning and generative AI to uncover patterns, risks, and opportunities hidden in complex tender documents.

WHY WE

ARE DIFFERENT

Publican isn’t just another tendering tool. It’s a strategic partner for businesses navigating the complex world of public procurement. What sets us apart is not only the technology we offer, but the depth of expertise and understanding behind it. Our approach is built on years of hands-on experience in public procurement law, close collaboration with industry leaders, and a sharp focus on the real challenges companies face when responding to tenders.

We focus exclusively on tenders. Leveraging my background as a former lawyer in public procurement law and the recent acquisition of Publican by KPD, Belgian market leader in calculation and ERP software for construction companies, ensures that every detail, from legal intricacies to market specifics, is meticulously analyzed.

Our tool transforms raw tender data into clear, risk- and opportunity-focused reports that empower smarter decision-making. For example, while a generic model might flag a potential risk, our system details exactly how contractual clauses could impact bid outcomes.

Unlike generic models, our solution is fine-tuned for the unique challenges of tender review, reducing risk and enhancing accuracy.
