Pre-Tender Opportunity Radar

Problem

Bid opportunities are often missed before public notices appear: proposed projects are still in approval, procurement intent is newly disclosed, or incumbent contracts are about to expire. This skill takes an industry, product, or region as input and focuses on pre-tender signals rather than only searching published bid data.

How it works

It follows a workflow of intent parsing, parallel scanning, ranking, and list output:
- Proposed projects: uses search_proposed_projects to capture projects in the initiation or approval stage, typically 6-18 months ahead.
- Procurement intent: uses search_bids with bid_process=[1] to find public plans published 1-3 months before bidding.
- Expiring renewals: uses search_expiring_projects to identify contracts entering a 0-180 day renewal window.
Results are ranked by traceable rules such as budget tier, time to expiration, and approval status, with top opportunities first and each item paired with a next action. A full scan costs about 8-15 points, while a single-path scan costs about 2-6 points; the expected cost is disclosed before execution.

Boundaries

It is for discovering opportunities before tender publication, not for analyzing a specific published bid or running general data searches. Use a bid-decision skill for whether to bid and how to price a specific published notice, and a data-query skill for published announcements or company records. All amounts, dates, and organization names must come from the API; missing data should be marked as a gap. Links must preserve the original API parameters rather than being manually rebuilt.
