Changelog
Latest updates and improvements to the Tendergate platform.
October 24-28, 2026
Features
- Draft documents with the AI Assistant. Click Prepare with the AI assistant on a procurement's RFP documents tab, or under Your bid → Draft with AI. The assistant plans the package from the procurement's documents and requirements and drafts it, and you edit the drafts in the canvas next to the chat: accept or reject each suggested change, restore earlier versions, fill the buyer's DOCX and XLSX forms, check coverage of the mandatory requirements, and download one document or all of them. Finish documents saves them as the procurement's tender documents or your bid's files. See Drafting documents.
- Supplier management. Each supplier in Tools → Suppliers now keeps contacts, documents with expiry dates, contracts with renewal dates, and reviews, plus a status, an owner and CPV codes. A supplier's owner gets email reminders before its documents expire and its contracts come up for renewal, register changes are checked daily, and you can import and export the list as CSV. The AI Assistant can look up and update supplier records too. See Suppliers.
- The AI Assistant remembers. Tell it a lasting fact, such as who signs your bids, and it uses it in later conversations. Organization memories are shared with every member and only owners and admins change them; personal memories are yours alone. Review them under Account settings → Memory. See Memory.
- Request a copy of your data. Organization owners can request a full export under Account settings → Organization → Export your data. See Data export.
- Daily funding call emails. Owners and admins get a morning email with new funding calls that match your organization. Turn it off for yourself under Account settings → Notifications. See Daily funding call emails.
Improvements
- AI Assistant first in the top bar. AI Assistant opens from the first item in the top bar, and Library moved into the Tools menu.
- Bid documents dated before the RFP are flagged. Bid analysis reports a bid's own document, such as a declaration or a price offer, that is dated before the RFP was published. Older certificates and register extracts are still accepted. See Documents dated before the RFP.
- Cancel a stuck drafting session. RFP and bid drafting, and the setup interview, show Cancel session while the agent waits for you, and a session left waiting for 7 days stops on its own. See Composing an RFP.
Fixes
- PowerPoint (.pptx), OpenDocument presentation (.odp) and spreadsheet (.ods) files are read again.
- Evidence in bid analysis findings names the original file instead of an internal path.
- When a procurement's document language can't be detected, it uses your organization's AI language and says so, instead of quietly switching to English.
- Reopening a sealed bid in a browser without its saved prices says the submitted prices are sealed, instead of showing empty price fields.
October 23, 2026
Features
- Reports. Reports in the top menu sums up a period for your organization. Buying shows workload, estimated and awarded value with savings, how long each step took, and competition; Bidding shows your bid / no-bid decisions, bids and win rate. Filter by owner or group, and download the workspaces behind the numbers as a CSV. Reports do not use credits. See Reports.
- Buying rules and approvals for private companies. Group your team by department or site, set how many companies to ask above an amount and who approves awards above another, and collect prices from invited companies that need no account. Awards over the limit wait for approval, repeating purchases get renewal reminders, and the new Spending view in Planning shows what was awarded against the plan and the budgets, and which awards need a look. See Private-company purchasing.
Improvements
- One AI Assistant. The AI assistant inside a procurement is gone. Open AI Assistant in the top bar and pick the procurement: it searches all of its documents at once — the RFP and every bid you may see — without waiting for documents to be prepared, and its answers name the file and the section or page. See AI Assistant.
- Market research finds suppliers faster. The agent now runs a round of web searches and page reads at the same time instead of one after another. Research always runs from start to finish: the Guided mode is gone, and a run pauses only when it meets a question it cannot decide from the brief. See Market research.
- A tidier plan register. One line under the title sums up the year, filter buttons take several values at once and show how many lines each leaves, and bulk actions appear only while lines are ticked. New line opens a short form, and the full form asks How will you buy? in everyday words. See Procurement planning.
Fixes
- The CPV code picker keeps its full size when it opens inside another dialog.
October 15, 2026
Features
- Contracts that are about to expire. The new Expiring contracts tab in Find tenders lists Latvian public contracts ending in the coming months, a lead on tenders that may follow. Each end date says how it was worked out, contracts are scored against your selection settings, and you can follow or dismiss them. Scoring does not use credits. See Expiring contracts.
- Funding calls in Find tenders. The new Funding tab lists open funding calls from EU Funding & Tenders and from Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian funding bodies, picks out the ones that share words with your keywords and services, and lets you follow or dismiss them. It does not use credits. See Funding.
- Planning and publishing for private companies. A company that buys with its own rules can mark itself as a private company. Planning then skips the public procurement checks and statutory exports but still checks publicly funded lines, and new tenders start with A private company as the buyer. See Private companies.
Improvements
- Funding research exports its insights. The Excel export gains an Insights sheet, the overview's Recommendation is the agent's final conclusion, and References lists every source the agent used. See Funding research.
- Plan exports for the board. Both plan layouts include each line's description and a link to its workspace, and the approved plan adds the plan notes and a total row. See Exporting.
Fixes
- Plan exports download again, and imported plans keep quarters written like "Q2".
- The package check names every missing document, and Finalize bid stays disabled while the quality check is still running.
- In bid analysis, a lot price or delivery time a bid does not state stays empty instead of showing as 0.
- When an open tender is cancelled, bidders are told it no longer accepts bids, instead of being told their bids will not be opened.
October 12-14, 2026
Improvements
- One language for AI explanations. Tender match explanations and eligibility reasons are written in one language for the whole organization, set under Account settings → Organization → Workspaces. By default it is the language most members use; owners and admins can pick Latvian or English. It no longer changes with whoever signed in last. See Language of AI explanations.
- Invite the suppliers market research found. Market research now records a supplier's public contact email when a page it read lists one. When you invite companies to a tender you publish, Found by market research lists them, approved suppliers first. See Invitations.
- Applying quality-check changes starts a new bid version. The re-drafted documents go into the next version, and the version you reviewed keeps its files and checks. See Your bid.
Fixes
- AI bid drafting stays inside Your bid, and a revision after finalizing starts from your drafts and earlier answers instead of starting over.
- Long requirement lists load page by page, and the browser's Back button returns you to the page you were on.
- On an open tender, the bid form asks you to link your company first, so entered prices are no longer lost, and sending or withdrawing a bid tells you whether it worked.
- Bid analysis no longer lists and screens the same company twice when its name is written with different quotation marks.
October 9, 2026
Improvements
- One overview for your workspaces. Open Workspaces to switch between Buying, Bidding and All work, start new work, and follow work needing attention. Procurement workspaces now use a fixed sidebar and an overview with document, preparation and bid status. See Setting up a procurement.
- Request complimentary credits after company verification. Eligible organizations can use Activate credits to submit their company details. New organizations start without credits unless a promotional offer applies; verification and credit assignment are manual steps. See Complimentary credits.
- Unreadable documents appear in analysis findings. Bid analysis can continue with readable content and reports one major finding per affected source, including the pages it could not read. Check those sources manually; interrupted text recognition or system failures can still stop a run. See Document parsing.
- Public tender notices live in Details. Notices appear newest first, with earlier entries expandable. See Public tender list.
Fixes
- Tender matching gives more weight to what the buyer is actually purchasing, reducing matches based only on shared industry terminology.
October 6, 2026
Features
- Publish tenders and receive bids on Tendergate. Publish a price quote on one screen or a full tender from your procurement, invite companies, answer their questions and publish amendments. Bids are sealed until the deadline by default: they are encrypted on the bidder's computer, every bidder gets a signed receipt, and your openers open them after the deadline. Then compare prices item by item and award, with reasons for every bidder. For a private purchase you can choose open bids instead. Publishing and bidding are free. See Publishing tenders.
- Bid on tenders published on Tendergate. Sign in with your work email, enter prices, add files and submit. You get a signed receipt, and you can replace or withdraw your bid until the deadline. See Bid on a Tendergate tender.
- Tender searches by email. Save a search on the public tender list and get a daily email of new tenders that match it. See Public tender list.
Improvements
- Search finds more. Tender search now matches word forms, CPV codes and their names, procurement IDs, EIS numbers and links, and IUB and TED notice IDs. See What the search finds.
- More Latvian tenders. EIS open data is now a second Latvian source, refreshed twice a day, so tenders listed only in EIS appear too.
- Documents for more tenders. When you start a bid, Tendergate also imports the documents attached to IUB notices, not only those of EIS tenders.
- A quality check that reads your whole bid. The quality check now reads every document in full, tells you when it could not read one, and flags attachments you mention but did not add, manual steps before submitting, and contradictions with the tender. Your Ignore and I'll fix manually choices carry over to later checks. See Compose validation.
- Buyer forms are filled in, not redesigned. When the agent completes a buyer's form, it keeps the buyer's text and structure and strikes through options that don't apply.
Fixes
- Extracting the requirements of an unchanged RFP again no longer duplicates its evaluation criteria.
- A bid with two EDOC archives of the same name, or an archive with an unusual file name inside, no longer loses files or stays in processing. Such archives are marked Not unpacked or Duplicate archive.
- After a dropped connection, the AI assistant shows its finished answer instead of waiting forever.
- Team invitation and password reset emails arrive in your language, and the invitation names the organization.
- More bid prices appear on the Bidders pages: prices published under a different IUB notice are now linked to their tender.
October 5, 2026
Features
- Work with Tendergate from your chat app. Once an owner or admin enables Connected apps, you can connect a compatible app through MCP to search tenders and results, create drafts, add documents and start supported AI work. Review the app's permissions and set a monthly credit allowance; active work may exceed it. See Connected chat apps.
September 30, 2026
Improvements
- A warning when your tender selection is too broad. If your CPV codes select about 200 or more new tenders a day, the selection settings and the daily email say so, because most of those tenders score as a close match and High relevance stops helping you choose. A new selection now starts from your organization's own country. See When the selection is too broad.
September 28-29, 2026
Features
- See who bid and who won. Latvian tender pages now show Past bidders on similar tenders: similar past tenders from the same buyer and from other buyers, each with its bidders, the winner and, where published, the bid prices with a link to the source document. The new Bidders tab finds any company by name or registration number and shows its bids, win rate, the buyers it bids for and its head-to-head competitors. Buyer pages list a buyer's most frequent bidders and winners, and once you link your company in the register, Your record vs the market shows your own bids and rivals. It does not use credits. See Bidders.
- Two-factor sign-in. Protect your account with an authenticator app or a passkey, with single-use backup codes in case you lose them. A passkey also lets you sign in without a password. Owners and admins can require two-factor authentication for every member of the organization. See Two-factor authentication.
- See what you spend on AI, and cap it. A new AI usage tab in account settings (owners and admins) shows this month's credits with the euro amount, your balance, a 12-month selector, breakdowns by user and agent, the most expensive runs, and a 6-month trend. Set an optional monthly credit limit with a warning level and a choice to block new AI runs or only warn once it's reached. See AI usage.
Improvements
- A live Procurement Radar. The public Procurement Radar now leads with this week's opened procedures and a 12-week trend. A new Bid openings in EIS panel shows lots opened, bids per lot, bids in the final 24 hours, bids from foreign companies and the median days from opening to contract. Where an IUB result notice leaves the offer count blank, the count now comes from the EIS bid opening.
- Search tenders by buyer. The search box on All tenders and Matched for you now also finds tenders by the buyer's name. See Tenders catalogue.
September 24-27, 2026
Features
- Prepare a bid from a tender. The procurement workspace now has a bidder side. Click Start bid on a tender to import its documents and read the requirements, or create a New procurement and choose I'm bidding. The Tender passport lists the key facts, each linked to its source, and a Go / No-go decision records whether you bid and why. Needs attention collects what could stop you from bidding or winning, including an AI review of the contract terms. Split the work into tasks, questions and decisions for your team and see your own in My work. Each bid version is checked against the requirements, and the version you submit is frozen. Record the result, follow every bid under Bids, and get deadline reminders and notices when the tender changes. Auto-prepare bids can open a bid workspace for every open tender at or above a relevance you set. See Preparing a bid.
- Calculated bid scores. Buyers now get points calculated from the tender's own scoring rules. AI reads the rules and you confirm them, qualification gates and minimum thresholds are applied, and any points you override are recorded in the audit log. The scores appear in the bid comparison table and on a Scores sheet in the Excel export. See Comparing bids.
- A controlled library. AI uses a library document only once it is approved and only until it expires. Owners, admins and Library managers approve documents, and the Unavailable to AI view lists drafts and expired documents. See Library.
- Webhooks. Send your bids to a CRM, ERP or any other system that accepts webhooks: Tendergate posts a signed JSON snapshot of the workspace every time something important changes. See Integrations.
Improvements
- The chat is now called AI assistant, and the user menu notes that results are AI-generated and should be double-checked.
- Continue an analysis that stopped during verification. Instead of starting over, Continue checks only the unfinished items and keeps every finished result. See FAQ and troubleshooting.
Fixes
- The AI assistant recovers by itself after you upload a document, and its citation numbers stay the same.
- The activity feed no longer shows internal progress lines, labels each analysis phase, and shows the findings count in your language.
- Pages update live when something new is added, not only when it changes.
- Compose plans and documents show translated labels instead of raw English values.
- Links found through Google in research reports open the publisher's page.
- Preferred-country scoring and filters recognise every tender from a country, whatever country code its source uses.
September 23, 2026
Features
- Decide what "relevant" means for you. Tender settings now let you weigh your own relevance criteria next to the built-in fit to your services, and set the high relevance and notification thresholds and your relevance bands. A live preview shows how many tenders a change would put in High relevance, and Save and recalculate applies it right away with visible progress. See Selection and scoring settings.
- Find tenders outside your CPV codes. Keywords are matched by meaning in any language, so a Latvian keyword can find a German tender. Negative keywords move unwanted tenders to a new Excluded view, and you can limit selection to your countries of interest.
- Prefer countries without excluding the rest. Add Preferred countries to your selection profile: tenders from other countries lose 15 points by default, so they reach high relevance only on a very close match. See Selection and scoring settings.
- See whether you qualify. Each high-relevance tender gets an Eligibility score next to its Relevance: its qualification requirements are checked against your company profile and Library documents. Latvian companies can fill the profile from the Enterprise Register, and Check eligibility checks a tender on demand. See Eligibility check.
- Shortlist and dismiss tenders. Star tenders to your Shortlist, dismiss the ones you won't bid on with a reason, undo either, or act on many tenders at once. The High relevance, Shortlist, All, Excluded and Dismissed views keep them apart. See Matched tenders.
Improvements
- One tender per procedure. A procedure published in both IUB and TED now appears once, with links to every publication and a Change history of corrections, deadline extensions and results. See Tender page.
- Deadline first. Lists sort by the nearest deadline and show the days left, a Closing soon filter narrows them to the next 7 days, and a tender with no deadline says Not stated.
- How a tender was found. Each row says Found by a CPV code or a keyword, and after a recalculation you can open the tenders that are new with high relevance or no longer high relevance.
- A richer daily email. The morning email now shows relevance, eligibility, the deadline and how each tender was found. See Daily email.
- Tender decisions in the audit log. Shortlisting, dismissing and undoing are recorded under the new Tender selection category.
- Claude Opus 5.5 is now the default analysis model.
Fixes
- Changing your services no longer empties the matched list while tenders are rescored, and the scores are updated in place.
- A tender is emailed only once, even when it is published again in another source or corrected.
- Tenders without any deadline no longer stay open forever: they count as open for 50 days after publication.
- Closed tenders are no longer included in the daily email.
September 3-23, 2026
Features
- Plan the year's procurements. A new Planning module under Tools keeps your annual procurement plan: plan lines with their threshold band, requests from colleagues that you accept or decline, approval, amendments and publication, a quarter roadmap, and exports in the EIS and CVP IS layouts. Start a procurement or market research straight from a plan line, and run an AI check over the whole plan. Covers Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian rules and the EU directive. See Procurement planning.
- Design the procurement before drafting the RFP. Compose RFP now starts with Procurement design: the agent asks the key questions round by round, you answer, defer, or mark each one not applicable, and drafting starts only once the design is approved (in guided mode, with Approve design and draft). See Composing an RFP.
- Request document changes. After a composed RFP draft is validated, describe a correction in your own words for one document or the whole package. The validation also compares the package with your original brief and shows its Review coverage. See Compose validation.
- Search inside your Library. Library documents are indexed for content search, including spreadsheets, CSV files, and older Word files. Each entry shows whether its content is searchable, with Retry indexing when indexing fails. See Library.
- An audit log for your organization. Owners and admins can see who did what and when — sign-ins, member changes, documents, runs, exports, and settings — filter it by user, category, and date, and export it to CSV. See Roles and permissions.
Improvements
- Credits follow the model that did the work. A run is charged from its actual AI model usage, so the provider you choose affects the price, and the credit history shows the provider behind every charge. See Credits and pricing.
- A clearer analysis run page. A four-step bar shows where the run is and, once it finishes, the verdict. A scorecard summarises requirements and findings, and each requirement lists the evidence behind it. See Understanding your results.
- Bills of quantities compared row by row. When a tender includes a bill of quantities, the analysis compares the bid's priced estimate with it line by line.
- VAT basis on market prices. Each price row shows whether VAT is included, excluded, or exempt only when a source states it, and shows the offer terms. The Excel export carries both, plus the gaps and unknowns. See Market research.
- Screening shows how a company relates to the bid. A company found in a bid is labelled as a current bid participant or as related to a mentioned company, and an unclear relationship is raised for your review.
- The verifier can raise a compliance verdict as well as lower it when the evidence supports it.
Fixes
- Older .xls and .doc files are converted before they are read, so spreadsheet row labels and document text are no longer lost.
September 1-2, 2026
Features
- See what a procurement is actually buying. A new Items tab extracts every product and service line out of the technical specification, with quantity, unit, CPV code, lot, and source reference. Correct what the extraction got wrong, dismiss what does not belong, add what it missed, and approve the rest. See Items.
- Find suppliers and prices for those items. Once items are approved, market research runs from inside the procurement: candidate suppliers with the comparable public contracts they have already won, one sourced price row per item with its basis, spec match, and date, and a written report, on the new Suppliers, Prices, and Report tabs. Export the price table to Excel. See Market research.
- A supplier register. Every bidder you add becomes a supplier record under Tools → Suppliers: link it to its business-register entry, see the screening results from past analyses and every bid it has made, and merge duplicates. The bid form now offers existing suppliers as you type. See Supplier register.
- Academy: OECD public procurement standards. A second quiz on the Tendergate Academy, alongside the Latvian Public Procurement Law: 30 questions on the OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement, in English, with every answer explained and cited to the source text. Open it from Academy in the top bar or at tendergate.ai/academy/oecd-public-procurement.
Improvements
- One workspace for composing and analysing. Creating a procurement no longer asks you to choose between analysing bids and drafting an RFP. Compose is a tab inside the RFP group, and a composed RFP is locked with Finalise RFP before requirements, bids, and analysis follow. The RFP tabs are renamed Documents and Requirements, and evaluation criteria and lots now sit before the quality and integrity checks. See Setting up a procurement and Composing an RFP.
- See the scope before the credits. Starting market research from Items shows how many approved items and distinct products the run will price before you confirm.
- The activity feed narrates the pricing stage of a market research run, batch by batch.
Fixes
- The prices Excel export downloads instead of opening inside the page.
- Item extraction asks for confirmation before it starts, and the Items tab refreshes itself when the extraction finishes.
August 31, 2026
Features
- The Assistant reads your scans. Once an analysis has transcribed a scanned page or image on a procurement, the Assistant can answer from it, reusing that text at no extra cost instead of reporting that it cannot read the file. See Assistant.
- See the text taken out of a scan. Each document now carries the transcription a vision model produced, shown under Extracted text, and the document list badges whether text was read, nothing legible was found, or the read failed. The text is stored and reused, so later runs no longer re-read — or re-charge for — the same scans. See Working with documents.
Fixes
- A document saved without a file no longer leaves Run AI analysis permanently disabled with no job running.
- RTF, ODT, and ODP files upload with their contents instead of being stored as an empty reference, so their text reaches both analysis and the Assistant.
- Assistant citation numbers now come from the search itself, so a citation always points at the document the claim actually came from.
- The Assistant searches for something in the current question before saying it is not in the documents, rather than concluding that from earlier context.
August 6-26, 2026
Features
- A rebuilt Assistant. Now named Assistant rather than Chat, it works your documents directly — searching for wording, opening the file, reading around the match — instead of querying a fixed index. Start a session to prepare your documents, and every claim comes back with a numbered citation to its source. A session left idle ends cleanly and restarts without losing the conversation. See Assistant.
- Register screening in your exports. Analysis and comparison exports now carry an Eligibility and capacity sheet listing every register check per screened subject, with its status, how the subject was matched, the source register, and the date the data was current. See Comparing bids.
- See which documents a verdict covered. Open a requirement in the comparison view and a Documents checked panel shows how many of the expected documents were reached, and which failed or were never reached.
Improvements
- Subcontractors are found in the bid text itself. Register screening no longer depends on the analysis noticing a company: the proposal is swept for registration numbers, and every one that resolves in the business register is screened. A subcontractor named deep in an annex is now checked. See Understanding your results.
- Register facts short of an exclusion raise a finding too, weighted by the kind of tender — a builder struck from the construction register is a major issue on a works contract and a minor note on a stationery contract.
- Contradicted strengths are withdrawn. A strength praising a declaration that screening later contradicts is removed instead of standing beside the finding that contradicts it.
- Watch the image reading happen. The activity feed now reports the pass that reads scans and images, with progress and a note when the per-run limit is reached, instead of looking frozen for long stretches.
- Evaluation criterion names are short titles again, rather than internal keys or whole paragraphs.
Fixes
- A tender uploaded only as a spreadsheet is detected in its own language. It previously fell back to English silently, so a Latvian tender came back reviewed in English.
- Uploading the same file twice is refused and marked already uploaded in the uploader, instead of quietly doubling your document set.
- Dragging several files at once uploads all of them.
- The Peer Insights tab compares you only against tenders from a country the corpus covers, so an Estonian or Lithuanian procurement is no longer benchmarked against Latvian ones.
August 4, 2026
Features
- Tendergate in German. Switch the interface to German with the language selector in the top bar. Analysis reports, research runs, and preparation checklists can be produced in German too. This documentation remains available in English and Latvian.
- Verification you can trust. When the verifier cannot re-read the evidence behind an item, it is now marked Not verified instead of being confirmed by default. Evaluation criterion values and requirement-compliance rows are verified alongside findings, and the Excel export carries the verification outcome, note, and original status. Findings raised by register screening are labelled as register results rather than document-verified findings. See Understanding your results.
Improvements
- Tender match reasoning in your language. The explanation of why a tender matched your profile is now written in your organization's interface language instead of always in English.
- Funding research can target a specific country and filter sources by how recent they are, matching the options market research already had.
Fixes
- The opportunities comparison table in funding research renders its rows again.
- Price tables in PDFs with merged cells are read row by row, so a group subtotal is no longer mistaken for a line item's own total.
July 26-28, 2026
Improvements
- Re-run a failed research run. A funding research run that failed can be started again from the failure panel, without leaving the page.
Fixes
- Register screening no longer reports exclusion grounds as clear when the bidder could not be resolved in the Latvian register. Those checks now read Unknown, the card says the registration number was not found here, and the manual-check reminder still appears. Tax debt lookups also stopped failing on days when the State Revenue Service could not serve the requested date.
- OpenDocument text and spreadsheet files (.odt, .ods) are parsed correctly.
- The recommendation on the funding research overview is no longer cut off mid-sentence.
July 23, 2026
Features
- See how peers structured similar tenders. When you run an RFP quality check, a new Peer Insights tab shows how other organizations that published similar tenders set up their evaluation, requirements, and documents — compared against your own RFP. Each insight links to the source tender, flags how likely it is to apply to you, and can be dismissed. Peer Insights are advisory: they never change your quality recommendation. See RFP quality review.
July 22, 2026
Features
- Automatic bidder screening against public registers. For Latvian procurements, a new Eligibility & Capacity tab automatically checks the bidder, its subcontractors, and its owners and board members against open-data registers — sanctions, insolvency, suspended activity, VAT status, and tax debt — and raises a finding when an exclusion ground applies. Financial turnover, construction qualification class, and certified specialists are matched to the bidder and shown alongside. See Understanding your results.
- Full company and person details, traceable to the source. Click any screened company or person to open its complete register record — status, address, beneficial owners, shareholders, and board members — with a link straight to the original data.gov.lv dataset behind every data point.
July 21, 2026
Improvements
- Several model providers, one per run. Your organization can now save more than one AI provider profile under Account settings → Other model providers, each with its own OpenRouter API key and a model preset for the main, mid, and fast tiers. Saved profiles appear in the provider menu next to Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, so you can keep one profile tuned for cost and another for quality and pick between them. The single OpenRouter key that used to live on the Billing details page has moved here and became your first profile. Every run records the profile it started with, so editing a profile later doesn't rewrite the history of runs that already used it.
July 17, 2026
Features
- Start an RFP quality check with an upload. Quality checks now have a focused workspace under Tools: choose the full RFP package directly, follow its progress, return to previous checks, and export the results to Excel. A new account includes one complete quality check with no credit card required. See RFP quality review.
- More national jurisdictions for RFP quality review. The Legal jurisdiction field now covers Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany in addition to Latvia and the EU directive. Auto-detect picks the right one from your documents, so Legal findings cite the national procurement law that actually applies. See RFP quality review.
- Continue with Google. You can now create an account or sign in with Google from the authentication pages.
Improvements
- Relevant Latvian complaint precedents in legal findings. For Latvian quality checks, Tendergate can search published IUB complaint decisions and cite a decision when it directly supports the issue found in your RFP.
- Faster scanning across countries. The tender catalogue now shows each notice's country with a flag, and the All tenders and Matched tenders tabs use the same filters.
- Quality-check categories, live activity, results, and Excel exports now stay in the selected language.
Fixes
- Quality-check starts and reruns now validate access and available credits consistently, preventing confusing partial starts.
- Registration, confirmation emails, and the destination after sign-in now preserve the language and product flow you selected.
July 12, 2026
Features
- Discover tenders from 11 new national sources. You can now find opportunities from official sources in Poland, Lithuania, France, Austria, Czechia, Estonia, Norway, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, and Ireland. Newly imported open tenders from every source automatically enter the daily matching flow for your company profile. See Tenders.
July 1–11, 2026
Features
- Read images, charts, and scanned documents. Analysis and RFP agents now inspect the actual content of diagrams, scanned pages, stamps, and signatures with a vision model instead of guessing from a filename.
- Analyze in the procurement's language. Tendergate detects the RFP language and produces findings, summaries, and Excel exports in that language. You can still override it manually.
- Open requirement and criterion details without losing your place. Click a row in bid comparison to see the offered value, verification reasoning, and every evidence quote in a focused dialog.
Improvements
- Search the CPV browser by code or description when setting up tender preferences.
- Organization owners and admins can resend pending invitations and see when each invitation expires.
Fixes
- Non-English analyses and spreadsheet exports no longer fall back to English for statuses and structured values.
June 30, 2026
Features
- We're now Tendergate. MitigateTenders has become Tendergate, with a new home at tendergate.ai. Existing
procurements.mitigate.devlinks redirect automatically, so nothing you've bookmarked breaks. - Choose the legal jurisdiction for RFP quality review. When setting up a procurement you can now pick which procurement-law rulebooks the quality check uses for its Legal findings — auto-detect, the harmonized EU directive, or EU plus Latvian national law. See RFP quality review.
Improvements
- Two composition modes instead of three. Drafting an RFP or a bid now offers just Autopilot and Guided. Guided is adaptive — it asks for the issuer or vendor details it needs only when the plan actually calls for them, folding in what used to be a separate Interview mode. See Composing a bid and Composing an RFP.
- Faster AI runs. Multi-step agent runs now reuse cached conversation context, so long analyses and compositions respond quicker and use fewer tokens.
Fixes
- Paused bid composition runs now finish cleanly when resumed, and the plan only appears once composition has completed.
- Sign-in now returns you to the page you were heading to instead of a generic landing spot.
- Matched-tender period stats are now based on each notice's publication date, so the counts match the period you picked.
- German tender notices now link back to their original source, and missing country filter labels in the tenders catalogue have been restored.

Features
- Invite your team. Organization owners and admins can now invite colleagues by email from account settings, assign roles (owner, admin, member), change them later, and remove people who leave — invitees get a branded email and set their own password. See Roles and permissions.
- Bring your own AI provider. Connect your organization's own OpenRouter API key in account settings and pick the model for each tier, so analysis and every other AI run uses your account instead of ours.
- Guided product walkthrough. A new Showcase in the top navigation walks you through the platform chapter by chapter — setting up a procurement, running an analysis, comparing bids, and composing a bid — in English and Latvian.
- Daily tender match alerts. Owners and admins now get a daily email listing new tenders that match your organization above 80% confidence, in your preferred language, so strong matches reach you without checking the catalogue. See Tenders.
- Redeem a promo code at sign-up. The registration form now has an optional promo code field, so you can apply a code when you create your account.
Improvements
- RFP composition now mirrors the bid flow. Drafting an RFP plans inside the workspace instead of a separate setup interview, asks for the specific facts it needs through short structured forms rather than open questions, lets you adjust the planned documents, and adds step-by-step navigation. See Composing an RFP.
- Requirement compliance in your exports. Excel exports now include requirement compliance — a per-requirement status sheet for a single run, and a requirements-by-vendor matrix in the all-bids comparison export.
- Quality review findings as a scannable table. RFP quality review now lists findings in a table with severity, category, finding, and source columns, so you can scan everything at a glance and expand any row for the full details and references.
Fixes
- Answering a clarification during analysis no longer breaks the run when it resumes.
- The composition quality check no longer hangs indefinitely if processing stalls.
- Funding research verifies its sources more strictly, so results no longer cite weak or unreachable references.
June 15, 2026
Features
- RFP requirements. Extract a structured list of every requirement in your RFP, review and approve them in one matrix, and have them feed your preparation checklist, evaluation criteria, and lots automatically — so everything stays anchored to what the RFP actually asks for. See RFP requirements.
- Requirements matrix in bid comparison. Compare every approved RFP requirement against each vendor side by side, with a per-requirement compliance status and evidence on demand. See Comparing bids.
- Requirements on analysis results. Each analysis run now has a Requirements tab showing every requirement's status (met, partial, failed, unverified, or not applicable), the value the vendor offered, and the exact RFP clause it came from.
- Smarter bid drafting. Bid composition is now driven by the RFP's requirements: the Documents tab flags any mandatory requirement that isn't yet covered, and you can download the whole bid as a ZIP package with a readiness summary. The agent also asks for the specific vendor facts it needs through short structured forms instead of open-ended questions. See Composing a bid.
- Chat over your analysis results. The procurement assistant can now answer from completed bid analyses — gaps, compliance against criteria, lot participation, and the recommendation — and cite the analysis, not just the source documents. See Document chat.
Improvements
- Live preparation status while an analysis is starting, so you can see it extracting requirements and detecting the procurement domain before specialists begin.
- Apply only the validator findings you select, or re-run validation against the current draft without re-drafting everything.
- The preparation checklist and evaluation criteria now stay in sync with your approved requirements — re-extract and re-approve to update them.
Fixes
- Market research no longer cites snippet-only sources from blocked or low-quality domains.
- Funding research runs can now be deleted.
- Clearer empty states across procurements, bid comparison, and research so it's obvious what to do next.
May 26, 2026
Features
- RFP composition, rebuilt. Drafting an RFP now uses the same flow as bids: a short setup interview produces a plan you approve, the agent writes the documents as files you download (individually or as a ZIP), and an automatic review always pauses for you before anything is final. See Composing an RFP.
- Export a single analysis run to Excel. Download one run's full results as a spreadsheet, in addition to the all-bids comparison export.
- Forgot your password? Reset it yourself from the sign-in page — no need to contact support.
Improvements
- Claude Opus 4.8 is now the default analysis model.
- 7z archives are accepted and unpacked automatically, and signed document bundles (EDOC) with nested containers are unpacked all the way through.
- Tenders now include Lithuanian notices, and your tender matches re-score automatically when you change your services or CPV preferences — no waiting for the next daily run.
- Saved filter presets now work on the Matched tenders tab too.
Fixes
- Document row menus stay visible and usable; the experimental mind map view was retired.
May 10, 2026
Documentation
- New compose section pages. Documentation now covers the full bid composition flow end to end: the setup interview (where the agent drafts a plan you approve), composing a bid itself, and compose validation — the two-pass automatic review (coverage + content) that runs after composition completes.
- Sandbox architecture, in plain English. How AI agents work and document parsing have been rewritten to explain the per-run sandbox isolation, on-demand semantic search, and the actual agent roles in use today.
- Glossary expanded. Added 18 new entries covering compose plans and artifacts, sandbox isolation, autopilot/guided/interview modes, validation findings, library auto-pull, and more.
- Pricing and security updates. Credits and pricing now lists every billable run type and typical cost ranges, including bid composition and revision rounds. Security and privacy explains the per-run sandbox isolation that keeps each run's documents separate.
April 20, 2026
Features
- RFP integrity check — scan any uploaded RFP for signs of directed procurement: overly specific requirements, unnecessary certifications, tight timelines, narrow experience thresholds, vendor-specific language, and other fairness risks. Each finding quotes the RFP text that triggered it, points back to the section, and is categorised by severity. Run it before publishing your own RFP or when deciding whether to bid on someone else's. Available as a new Integrity check step in the procurement sidebar. Read more.
Improvements
- Findings on the RFP integrity and quality reviews are now collapsed to one-line rows by default. Click any row to expand and see the full description, recommendation, and evidence — making long finding lists easier to scan at a glance.
Fixes
- Market research and funding research runs now correctly charge credits on completion. Earlier runs completed without the credit deduction being recorded.
April 18, 2026
Features
- Library document preview — preview library documents inline, download the original file, and expand or collapse the parsed content, without leaving the library view.
- Inline edit for tender services and products — edit services and products directly on the tender detail page instead of opening a separate modal for each change.
- Finish composing and go to analysis — hand a composed bid straight to the analysis agent with one click from the compose view.
Improvements
- Tenders catalogue opens on your matched tenders by default and automatically re-applies the filter you used last time, so you return straight to the list you care about
- Tender notice type and procedure type show human-readable labels instead of raw procurement codes
- A read-only banner is shown while the compose agent is running, so you don't edit content that will be overwritten when the agent finishes
- RFP uploads and Library uploads are now visually distinct so it's clear where each file is going
- Disabled "Generate checklist" button explains which prerequisite is missing instead of just being greyed out
- Analysis verdict shows a stat grid and severity distribution so you can read the outcome at a glance without scrolling through the full findings list
- New Verification coverage tab on analysis runs lists every RFP clause, numerical claim, signature, attachment reference, and entity mention the AI verified — including the ones that passed — so you can see the full picture of what was checked, not just what failed
- Latvian documentation now uses "nolikums" in place of "RFP" throughout
Fixes
- Guided bid composition correctly accepts your clarification reply instead of re-asking the same question
- Analysis surfaces sub-agent errors and double-checks every pass/fail criterion, so compliance gaps no longer slip through silently
- Bid rows show pending, paused, and failed states, and starting a duplicate analysis run is blocked while one is already active
- Large xlsx comparisons no longer overflow the sub-agent context window mid-run
- Opening a procurement no longer errors when an RFP document is still parsing
April 17, 2026
Features
- Signature detection — uploaded documents are automatically scanned for digital signatures. eDoc / ASiC-E containers are cryptographically verified, and PDFs are checked for embedded signatures. Document rows show a signature badge with the signer's name and signing time. Signatures on an eDoc container automatically apply to every document inside.
- Signature-aware analysis — AI agents now know which documents are signed and by whom, so criteria like "form signed by authorised representative" are verified directly from the signature instead of being inferred from the document text.
- Submittable documents — the Preparation Checklist now lists each specific document the vendor has to submit (application form, bank guarantee, ISO certificate, etc.) as its own row with a dedicated "Attach" action.
- Library auto-match — existing documents in your Organization Library are automatically matched against each submittable. A valid ISO 9001 certificate already in the library is offered as a one-click attachment instead of asking you to upload it again.
- Library document classification — library documents are automatically classified after parsing (certificate, financial statement, reference letter, template, etc.). The classification is visible in the library preview and is used by the auto-matcher.
Improvements
- Document upload zone redesigned with explicit "Choose files" and "Choose folder" buttons
- Procurement overview redesigned as a guided setup checklist so you can see at a glance which steps are still pending
- Document detail page gained a Signature info card listing every signer, signing time, and signature format

Upload context documents, describe what you're looking for, and the agent searches structured databases and the web. Results include categorized opportunities with eligibility requirements, deadlines, funding amounts, and application links. Includes XLSX export for offline review.
- Scope Scout — the analysis agent now detects which lots each vendor is actually bidding on before starting the main analysis. This prevents false positives on lots where the vendor didn't submit a proposal, and focuses the analysis on relevant lots only.
