Procurement Context Talk to us

Government tender and contract data

Connect your AI to every government tender and award.

One connection gives Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot live access to public tenders, RFPs and awarded contracts across the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Ask in plain English. There is no dashboard to learn.

The problem

One connection. All the government procurement context.

Award notices are published. Contract values are published. Supplier registrations are published. Most of what you need to qualify a bid is already out there, spread across hundreds of portals, in a dozen formats, most of which will not let you export anything useful. You need a system for connecting to this data every time, not leaving it up to what your AI happens to reach for in that chat.

  • You learn the incumbent's contract is expiring the week the tender drops
  • You bid against a competitor without knowing they have won eleven of these before
  • You price against a buyer whose last four awards all landed in a band you never checked
  • Someone spends a day assembling a purchaser history that is stale within a month

What it answers

Use cases

Four questions a bid team asks before committing anyone to a response. Each one is answerable from published records, and each one is currently a morning's work.

Who is buying, and what is next

What an agency has bought, from whom, at what value, and on what cycle. Contracts coming up for renewal are the pipeline nobody has published yet.

Who you are up against

The suppliers who keep winning in a category, with their award history and estimated win rate. Know the incumbent before you commit a team to the response.

What the work goes for

Awarded contract records with values and dates. Price against evidence of what this buyer has paid before, not against a guess.

What is live right now

Open opportunities across every covered portal, filtered by the criteria your team actually qualifies on.

The connection

How it connects

  1. 01

    It plugs into the AI you already have

    Procurement Context runs as an MCP server. That is the standard Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and most enterprise AI tools already use to reach external data. Connecting is a configuration step, not an integration project.

  2. 02

    Your team asks in plain English

    "Which agencies bought facilities management in Queensland last year, and who won?" No query language, no CSV export, no new interface for anyone to learn.

  3. 03

    The answer cites the record

    Responses come back with the underlying notice or award attached, so a claim you carry into a bid traces to a public source an evaluator can check.

Coverage

If it's public, we cover it

Coverage is portal-agnostic. We have a system for standing up a new portal quickly, so any public procurement source is effectively already covered. Tell us where you tender and we will confirm it.

Not an exhaustive list. Commercial aggregators such as VendorPanel and TenderLink are covered too, alongside the public sources above.

We have all started using AI to write our tenders. But good data to use as context is still the hard part, and it is the part that decides whether the bid was worth writing at all.

Head of bids, engineering consultancy

We used it to check who held the incumbent contract before a renewal closed in March. It changed how we priced.

Bid manager, facilities services

The award histories are the useful part. Open tenders we already had.

Business development lead, civil construction

It answered inside the chat window we already pay for. Nobody needed training.

Operations director, IT managed services

We stopped keeping a spreadsheet of agency contracts. It was always out of date anyway.

Proposal coordinator, security services

Seeing what a department actually paid last time made our go decision quicker.

Commercial manager, environmental consultancy

We qualify out earlier now. That alone covered the cost.

Head of tenders, health services provider

I asked which councils had bought fleet maintenance in the last two years. It listed them with the award values and where each record came from.

Bid writer, transport and logistics

The citations matter. I can put a claim in a response and show where it came from.

Proposal manager, defence supplier

It is not magic. It is the public record, organised, which is what we needed.

Director, architecture practice

Setup took our IT team about twenty minutes.

Bids and pursuits lead, professional services

We tender in three states. Checking each portal used to be someone's Friday.

General manager, commercial cleaning

The win rate estimates are rough, and they say so, but they are enough to tell you who you are really up against.

Pursuit lead, ICT consultancy

Renewal dates on existing contracts are the pipeline we plan around now.

Sales director, catering and food services

We asked it the same questions we used to pay an analyst for a day to answer.

Managing director, recruitment agency

Four questions, so the conversation is useful. We come back to you directly.

Questions

Do we have to use MCP?
No. MCP is how it connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and most enterprise AI tools, and for most teams that is the fastest route because the client is already on their desks. There is a direct API if you are building something of your own, and we can run scheduled briefs into email or Slack if you would rather the answers came to you.
Which portals do you cover?
If a portal is public and publishing, we cover it. We have a system for standing up a new source quickly, so coverage is not limited to a fixed list. The examples above are the ones customers ask for most. Tell us where you tender and we will confirm what is already running.
Where does the data come from?
Public tender portals and award registers: notices, awarded contracts, contract values and supplier records, as published by the buying organisations themselves. Every response cites the underlying record.
How accurate are the win rates and revenue figures?
They are estimates derived from public award records, and we present them as estimates. A supplier's public awards are a floor, not a full picture: private work and subcontracting never reach a register. It is enough to tell you who the serious incumbents are and how often they win.
How is this different from a tender alert service?
Alert services tell you what is open. The harder question is what has already been awarded, to whom, and for how much. That is what tells you whether a bid is worth writing. Procurement Context covers both, and it answers questions rather than sending you a list.
