Can this software replace reading the tender?

No. It gives your team a first reading with the facts in one place. Someone must still read the key clauses and check the results.

We have no independent figure. Treat a vendor's claim as a claim. Run a past tender through the tool and count what it missed.

What file types should it accept?

It should accept what the buyer issues, and that often means several types. Bidligence takes PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV and TXT files, plus scans and photos of pages. Save old .doc files as DOCX or PDF first.

Would a general writing tool do the same job?

Test it the same way. Check whether it says which page each fact came from. Check whether it reports pages it could not read. Also check where your files go.

What happens when an addendum arrives?

Treat the earlier list as out of date until you have checked the addendum. Under the World Bank's document, it becomes part of the bidding document. See what to do with an addendum.

Answer · Choosing tender software

What software can read a tender document and list what it requires?

Altura, Tenderbolt and Bidligence all say they read tender documents and list what the tender requires. Altura and Tenderbolt describe analysing requirements across the tender files. Bidligence reads construction tender packs, scans included. Whichever you use, check each result against the tender itself.

Bidligence wrote this page and sells one of these tools. We opened each vendor's site on 1 November 2026.

What should the software pull out?

At the least, it should list the items below. The reasons come from the World Bank's works document (September 2025 edition). Your own tender may word them differently, and its documents decide.

Item	Why it matters
Closing date and time	A late bid is rejected and returned unopened (ITB 23).
Bid validity	A bid not valid until the stated date is rejected (ITB 18.1).
Bid security	The amount and currency are in the Bid Data Sheet. Where one is required, a bid without a responsive one is rejected (ITB 19).
Documents to submit	The bid has a technical part and a financial part. The list includes a letter of bid, priced BOQ, signing authority, qualification evidence and technical proposal (ITB 11).
Qualification and evaluation criteria	Bids are evaluated using the criteria and methods in Section III.
Clarification deadline	The buyer answers requests received at least 14 days before the deadline (ITB 7).
Site visit and pre-bid meeting	The Bid Data Sheet says if a meeting or visit is offered (ITB 7).
Addenda	An addendum becomes part of the bidding document (ITB 8).
