How to start tendering as an SME
Implement a four-week document inventory, an opportunity profile, a triage routine, and a bid/no-bid matrix.
Open the starter guide →Guides to solve specific decisions: where to look, which CPV codes to keep an eye on, whether you meet solvency requirements, how to control a bid, and what tasks AI can assist with. Each piece distinguishes method, evidence and official sources.

Implement a four-week document inventory, an opportunity profile, a triage routine, and a bid/no-bid matrix.
Open the starter guide →How we cover state, European, regional, and local opportunities while controlling duplicates, changes, and traceability.
Understand the coverage →Move from a single code to a CPV tree with core, adjacent codes, object keywords, and exclusions.
Design the CPV map →Translate each threshold in the tender document into available evidence, a fixable gap, or a reason for non-participation.
Assess solvency →Control clauses, envelopes, responsible parties, evidence, award criteria, signature and proof of submission.
Prepare the bid →Design traceable outputs and separate extraction, recommendation, uncertainty, and human decision-making.
Apply AI with control →A specific decision, the document or data that supports it, a verifiable example, the limit of the recommendation, and a link to the applicable regulation, notice, tender documents or official platform. If one of those elements is missing, the piece may inform, but it shouldn’t be used to direct a submission.
Guides explain the method. For amounts, dates, requirements and corrections, always rely on the official file.
We include matrices, blocking signals and evidence fields to turn content into a process.
A score or summary reduces work; it does not replace capacity, solvency, signing, or professional review.
Create your company profile, filter by territory and CPV, and always keep a link to the official publication.
NexoLicit is a private service. Always check amounts, deadlines, corrections and requirements in the official source.
