Public procurement monitoring across eTenders, TED, SAM.gov and UK portals
Build "Tenderscout" — an autonomous procurement-intelligence agent that monitors public-sector tender portals across multiple jurisdictions (Ireland eTenders, UK Find a Tender / Defence Sourcing, EU TED, US SAM.gov) and surfaces only the notices that match a business's criteria, so bid managers stop manually checking a dozen portals with different logins and update cadences. Trigger it on a schedule (e.g. daily) to sweep every portal, and also expose a manual/route trigger so it can be re-run on demand. Main steps, at a high level: Authenticate to each portal (handling per-portal logins/credentials securely) and pull newly published notices. Filter notices against the user's business criteria (sector, value threshold, geography, keywords). Score and rank matches, attaching enough context (deadline, value, buyer, link) for a human to act quickly. Deliver a digest of high-value matches to the team's chat/email, and keep a running log of what's already been seen so notices aren't re-surfaced. Tools used: eTenders, Find a Tender (UK), TED, SAM.gov, Slack, email
What this prompt builds
Tenderscout is an autonomous agent that monitors public procurement portals across multiple jurisdictions (Ireland, UK, EU, US) for relevant tender opportunities. It filters notices against business criteria, handles authenticated portals securely through credential vaulting, and delivers decision-ready briefs to team channels. The workflow eliminates manual portal checking and ensures high-value opportunities are never missed due to fragmentation or timing.
The problem
Bid managers, business development teams, and government suppliers lose tender opportunities because high-value notices are scattered across dozens of portals—eTenders, Find a Tender, TED, SAM.gov, UK Defence Sourcing Portal—each with its own login, update cadence, and interface. Manual daily checking across six or more sources is tedious, doesn't scale, and leads to missed deadlines when tenders have only two to four weeks' response windows. Most published notices are irrelevant noise that analysts filter by hand for keywords, CPV codes, value bands, and geography, while authenticated portals like the UK Defence Sourcing Portal create credential-sharing risks when logins land in spreadsheets or chat messages. Tenderscout collapses all of this into a single scheduled agent that watches every relevant procurement source in parallel, applies your business filters (keywords, CPV codes, geography, value threshold, defence opt-in), deduplicates against notices already seen, and pushes only relevant briefs to the channel your team already uses—while keeping portal credentials encrypted in the Tines vault and safely shared across the bid team through a companion sub-agent that never exposes secrets in logs or notifications.
Solution and impact
Teams replace fragmented, manual tender monitoring with a single automated intelligence layer that runs on schedule and covers every relevant jurisdiction and portal without human intervention. Bid managers and business development leads gain pipeline visibility across geographies and sectors, eliminating the risk of missing multi-million-pound frameworks or US Federal opportunities due to late discovery. SMEs and consultancies that cannot afford £10k–£50k annual aggregator subscriptions now monitor the same sources at a fraction of the cost, while compliance and procurement analysts gain audit trails of what was reviewed and why it was passed over. Authenticated portals are handled securely through encrypted credential vaulting, so defence and security suppliers no longer face the operational and security risks of sharing logins through insecure channels.
