Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Screen supplier product submissions for public procurement bids against mandatory technical specifications. Compile verifiable compliance matrices and audit trails for procurement evaluators.

Public Procurement Technical Evaluator

Ingest supplier specification sheets and test certificate records for bid items.

Extract standardized engineering properties and environmental compliance markers.

Compare extracted item specifications against published public tender clauses.

Assemble structured evaluation scorecards with verifiable line-item citations.

Bid review dashboard highlighting specification deviations, certificate expiry dates, and clause mappings.

Curate mock tender specifications and synthetic vendor bid packets in normalized JSON formats. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

ONDC network extension Applies ONDC network extension contracts and category taxonomy rules to public procurement items.

crewai, pydantic, tabulate. Orchestrates dedicated evaluation agents for technical specs, certification validity, and clause compliance. Local or hosted LLM with high accuracy in structured numerical and standard comparison.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Matches supplier parameters against minimum tender thresholds with exact delta tracking.

Identifies missing mandatory testing documentation.

Generates audit-ready evaluation summaries ready for procurement officer sign-off.

Rejects bids containing unverified specification claims.
