From tender notice to go/no-go in hours, not days
Most contractors bid on 20 tenders to win 3. CivilBolt's pre-bid workflow helps you identify the right 5 and build a tighter, better-evidenced bid on each one.
The problem
Bidding is expensive. Losing is more expensive.
Contractor bids on 20 tenders, wins 3. Each losing bid: ~50 person-hours. That's 850 hours your BD and estimating team spent on tenders you had no chance of winning.
A 500-page NIT takes 3 days to read properly. Under bid deadline pressure, teams skim. They miss insurance requirements, subcontractor restrictions, or bank guarantee formats that invalidate the bid.
Contractors who win tenders without fully understanding site risk, payment terms, and LD provisions consistently underperform on commercial targets. The bid price was wrong from day one.
Bid workflow
Five steps from notice to decision
Find the right tenders before your competitors do
CivilBolt monitors CPPP, GeM, NHAI, state PWDs, and 200+ portals. Filter by value range, district, project type, and qualification criteria. See only the packages your team can realistically win.
500-page NIT read in 5 minutes
Upload the NIT. Civil Brain extracts obligations, notice periods, performance security amounts, earnest money, completion period, and special conditions: all in a single structured view. No more reading page 247 to find the liquidated damages clause.
16-criteria go/no-go in minutes
Score every tender across 6 categories: financial exposure, technical complexity, employer track record, competition density, site risk, and commercial terms. Shipley-model scoring produces a go/no-go recommendation with reasoning your BD head can defend in the board meeting.
MoRTH BOQ built from TCS cross-sections
Import TCS data, set chainage ranges, and Road Estimator generates a complete MoRTH-format BOQ with layer-wise quantities and rate analysis. No more estimation spreadsheets that break when a chainage changes.
Go/no-go with full commercial clarity
With risk score, obligation summary, estimated project cost, and competition analysis in one view, your BD director makes the bid decision in one meeting instead of three.
