Step-by-step

The 13-step current service flow

1

Step 1. Register and complete basic onboarding

Click the sign-up button and create an account with email and password. Tenderium then asks for basic company information such as company name, registration number where available, industry, markets, and procurement experience. This onboarding creates the first company context for tender filtering, recommendations, and future document-readiness checks.

Step 2. Enter the personal account

After registration, the user enters the personal account. This is the central workspace where the user can access TenderiumChat, tenders, documents, saved tenders, and the company profile. The personal account is designed as the long-term company cabinet, while each selected tender opens as a separate tender-specific workspace.

Step 3. Choose Ireland in the filters

For the current product demonstration, we recommend choosing Ireland in the filters. Ireland is the strongest current end-to-end flow because Tenderium can combine tender discovery with loading available documents from the Irish eTenders source. This allows TenderiumChat to work inside the context of a real selected tender.

Step 4. Review tender cards and choose an action

After Ireland is selected, the user can see available tender cards. Each tender card gives three practical actions: Ask Tenderium, Save, and Open. Open sends the user to the official procurement source. Save keeps the tender for later. Ask Tenderium starts a tender-specific workspace inside Tenderium.

Step 5. Click Ask Tenderium to start working with a tender

When the user clicks Ask Tenderium, the selected tender becomes an active workspace. In the Ireland flow, Tenderium loads the available tender documents into the document panel. TenderiumChat then answers questions based on the tender context, rather than acting like a general AI chat.

Step 6. Use tender documents and user response documents

The workspace separates tender-side documents from the user’s own documents. Tender docs contain files imported from the official tender source. Your responses are documents uploaded or prepared by the user, such as draft forms, certificates, experience evidence, declarations, insurance documents, method statements, or bid responses.

Step 7. Ask for a structured preparation map

TenderiumChat can provide a structured overview of what is needed for a specific tender. In the product walkthrough, Tenderium identifies the tender, recognises the user profile, highlights that the tender may not fit the company background, extracts submission requirements, identifies a deadline discrepancy, and lists documents likely to be required for participation.

Step 8. Start a focused preparation workflow

The user can also click Start working. This moves the interaction from general review into an active preparation workflow. The purpose is to help the user move from reading tender documents to organising the steps and materials needed for a tender package.

Step 9. Navigate between main account areas

The top navigation allows the user to move between Tenders, Chat, Documents, and Profile. This keeps the service simple: search and monitor tenders, work with TenderiumChat, manage documents, and maintain the company profile from one account.

Step 10. Return to saved tenders and activity overview

The Tenders page allows users to return to saved tenders and review activity. This area can develop into a market and performance dashboard, showing tender history, saved opportunities, activity statistics, and future recommendations.

Step 11. Smart Check on Irish tenders

On an Irish tender, the user sees a Smart Check panel on the tender card. Demo includes 3 Quick Checks, so the user can click Unlock Smart Check while checks remain. When no checks remain, the panel shows a "Request invoice" button to request additional checks (€9 each / €20 for 3). Unlocking Smart Check for that tender gives access to Tender Guard checks for deadlines, contradictions, and missing documents; Tender Watch email alerts for deadline or document changes; and Market Intel with comparable Irish awards from OGP open data.

Step 12. Tender Notifications on dashboard

The dashboard includes a Tender Notifications card. The Watched section covers tenders the user is tracking, including tenders with active Smart Check. Until Tenderium detects a deadline or document update, the card can show No changes since last check. Recommended notifications are shown as a coming-soon direction, not as a finished recommendation feed.

Step 13. Structured answers with sources

TenderiumChat tender-analysis answers return clear, sectioned blocks instead of a single unstructured reply. When the answer cites tender documents, it includes a Sources list with the referenced pages so the user can trace each point back to the source material.

Planned next improvements

Where the workflow is developing next

  • Prepared documents area: a third document column for documents that Tenderium helps the user complete, polish, generate, or mark as ready for review.
  • Readiness indicator: a practical progress bar showing whether a tender package appears 60%, 70%, or 80% prepared based on checklist coverage, uploaded documents, unresolved warnings, and user confirmations.
  • Smart filtering: personalised tender relevance based on company profile, sector, geography, contract values, previous tender history, and uploaded documents.
  • Green / yellow / red relevance signals: quick visual indicators showing whether a tender appears highly relevant, potentially relevant, or weakly aligned with the company profile.
  • Profile enrichment: future onboarding can use public company registers and procurement sources to pre-fill company data and improve recommendations.
  • Recommended notifications: a future dashboard section for recommended tender changes and opportunities, separate from tenders the user is already watching.
  • Quality and source grounding: continued improvement of answer quality, source references, document-processing reliability, and anti-hallucination checks.

Important product boundary

Tenderium is a decision-support and preparation tool. Quick Checks highlight tender risks, obligations and preparation steps, but they do not submit bids on behalf of users and should not be presented as legal advice. The platform helps structure information, highlight requirements, prepare documents, and reduce avoidable errors. Final review and submission remain under the user’s control through the official procurement channels.
