Smart Search

Finding the right government tenders can be overwhelming, thousands of opportunities are published daily, each with unique requirements, eligibility criteria, BOQs, and specifications. Bid India’s Smart Search is built to remove this complexity and ensure that no relevant tender is ever missed.

How it Works :

1. Intelligent Tagging & Discovery (Stage 1 Retrieval/ Compatibility Scoring)

Smart Search continuously scans all active government tenders and assigns 100+ metadata tags to each tender, including:

  • Past tender history & awarding patterns

  • User’s historical participation frequency

  • Locations, departments, and preferred organizations

  • BOQ details & category-level mappings

  • Margins, price ranges & competitiveness indicators

  • Subjective attributes like risk level, operational load, and required experience

Using these tags, the system automatically identifies every tender relevant to your company, even those you might miss with manual filters or keyword-based search.

2. Adaptive AI Re-Ranker (Stage 2 Scoring)

After finding all potentially relevant tenders, we apply a second-stage AI re-ranker with integration of reinforcement-learning feedback loops, to produce the perfect, personalized ordering.

The re-ranker:

  • Learns from the user’s explicit benchmarks (e.g., budget, category, location, margin requirements, qualification criteria).

  • Learns from implicit feedback: what you click, open, save, ignore, or apply for.

  • Adapts weights as behavior changes (“user reinforcement feedback”).

Compatibility Score:

  • Produces a relevance score tailored 100% to your company’s preferences.

This ensures the top results are not just relevant, but relevant for you.

3. Fully Customizable Benchmarks

Every company is unique, so Smart Search allows you to define your own scoring parameters, such as:

  • Minimum tender value

  • Preferred states or departments

  • Specific product/service categories

  • Experience/eligibility constraints

  • Competition density

  • BOQ patterns

  • Payment terms, work duration, material type, etc.

You choose what matters. Smart Search handles everything else.

4. Continually Evolving User Profile

Your benchmarks are not static. Over time, the system automatically updates them based on:

  • Your interactions

  • Success/failure records

  • Category trends

  • Seasonal participation changes

  • User feedback loops

The more you use Smart Search, the more accurate and personalized it becomes.
