Why We Built It

Public procurement in Vietnam now runs almost entirely online, and the volume is enormous. The hard part for a contractor is no longer finding tenders. It is reading each tender document fast enough to decide, correctly, whether to bid at all.

XD-BidHunter is AI software for tender document analysis built for Vietnamese contractors. It finds packages on the national e-procurement system, downloads and reads the tender documents, extracts every eligibility requirement, checks them against your company profile and flags conditions that look restrictive. The decision stays with your bid team; the software makes sure they decide on complete information.

Why Reading the Tender Documents Is the Bottleneck

The volume is beyond manual reading. According to Báo Đấu thầu, the procurement sector's newspaper, 283,357 packages were run online in the first eight months of 2024, and online bidding reached 100% for open, restricted and competitive-quotation domestic packages (excluding EPC). No bid team can read every relevant document by hand.
Contractors are disqualified for basic mistakes. Báo Đấu thầu reports case after case of bids rejected at the validity stage: in one package three contractors were eliminated because their bid guarantees lacked an unconditional payment commitment, and bid guarantee errors cannot be fixed through clarification once submitted.
Missing proof of capability is just as fatal. Bids are also rejected for missing certificates of key personnel, proof of similar contracts or equipment documents. Every one of these requirements sits somewhere in the tender document, often spread across long tables.

How It Works

Build your company profile once. Financials, completed contracts, key personnel, equipment and lessons from past bids. From your revenue, net worth and credit limit, the software estimates the largest package you can bid for alone.
Find tenders on the Radar. Search tender notices by keyword, procuring entity and status. Packages outside your sector are filtered out, each result shows days left before closing, and packages beyond your solo capacity are marked as needing a consortium.
Load the tender documents. Download them automatically from the portal or upload ZIP, DOCX or PDF files up to 300 MB. Tables are kept as tables, and scanned PDFs are read with AI vision.
Let AI read and check them. One model extracts the requirements into a structured report while a reasoning model looks for conditions that may restrict competition, such as over-specified certificates, and gives a Pass, Risk or Fail verdict. Your team can override any finding, and every override is logged.
Screen against six prerequisites. Legal eligibility, bid security, financial capacity, similar contracts, site manager and equipment. The result is clear: qualified, disqualified, consortium needed, or escalate for a closer look.
Run the bid in the War Room. Assign personnel and equipment, catch resource conflicts with other bids, track the prerequisite checklist and milestones, and record the win or loss so the next decision is better informed.

Market Intelligence

Competitors from real award results: contractors that won similar packages, with their winning prices and discounts.
Price scenarios: a time-weighted median discount by sector, procurement method and procuring entity, with conservative and aggressive scenarios. A scenario is only shown when there are at least three comparable awards.
Voice assistant: ask by voice for today's tenders, a package's details, whether you qualify, a consortium simulation or a competitor's profile. Fourteen actions are available.

Important Notes

XD-BidHunter is in internal testing. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with any government agency. AI analysis supports your bid team but does not replace legal review: always confirm requirements against the original tender document and current regulations before submitting.
