Overview
Procure provides AI analysis for every tender, evaluating requirements against market norms, identifying risks, suggesting evaluation criteria weights, and generating recommendations. This pre-bid intelligence helps procurement teams design better tenders and avoid common pitfalls before going to market.

"risk_assessment": [
"Budget range may be below market rate for sovereign cloud migrations of this scope",
"Timeline of 6 months is aggressive for a full legacy migration",
"Requirement for SOC 2 certification limits the supplier pool significantly"
