Bharat Tender Intelligence (BTI) is an AI-powered digital platform designed to improve transparency, security, and efficiency in public procurement and MPLAD Scheme project implementation.
The platform connects government authorities, verified implementing agencies, and citizens through a structured tender lifecycle while using AI-assisted intelligence, explainable evaluation, anomaly detection, and audit mechanisms to identify potential risks and improve decision-making.
Public procurement and project implementation involve large amounts of tender, agency, proposal, financial, and monitoring data.
Manual processes can make it difficult to:
- Identify suspicious tender or proposal patterns
- Verify implementing agencies efficiently
- Compare proposals consistently
- Detect potential anomalies and irregularities
- Track project execution transparently
- Maintain a reliable audit trail
- Provide citizens with meaningful transparency
BTI addresses these challenges through a centralized, role-based, AI-assisted tender intelligence platform.
BTI provides a complete digital workflow covering:
Agency Verification → Tender Creation → Tender Discovery → Proposal Submission → AI-Assisted Evaluation → Government Review → Award → Project Monitoring → Risk & Anomaly Intelligence → Audit
The platform is designed around three primary user groups:
Government authorities can:
- Create and manage tenders
- Review verified agencies
- Evaluate submitted proposals
- Use AI-assisted proposal intelligence
- Shortlist and award proposals
- Monitor projects
- View risk alerts and analytics
- Investigate potential fraud or anomalies
- Access audit logs
Verified implementing agencies can:
- Complete organization registration
- Submit GSTIN-based verification information
- Maintain compliance information
- Discover relevant tenders
- View tender requirements
- Understand tender-agency matching
- Submit proposals
- Track proposal status
- Monitor awarded project activities
Citizens can access transparency-oriented information about public projects and implementation activities without requiring access to restricted government operations.
BTI uses GSTIN-based organization verification to establish an authoritative organization identity.
The verification workflow includes:
- GSTIN normalization
- GSTIN validation
- Organization records
- Verification status
- Verification events
- Government verification review
- Audit history
Only verified agencies receive full access to tender participation workflows.
Government users can create and manage tenders with structured information including:
- Tender title
- Category
- Description
- Location
- Financial requirements
- Capability requirements
- Special requirements
- Important dates
- Closing date
- Tender status
Draft and published tender states are handled separately to prevent incomplete tenders from becoming publicly actionable.
BTI matches verified agencies with relevant tenders using a weighted matching model.
| Parameter | Maximum Score |
|---|---|
| Category Match | 35 |
| Geography Match | 25 |
| Capabilities | 20 |
| Financial Eligibility | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
The platform also provides an explanation of why a tender matches an agency rather than presenting only an unexplained score.
Agencies can submit structured proposals against eligible tenders.
The proposal workflow includes:
- Proposal creation
- Draft saving
- Compliance declarations
- Experience information
- Past project information
- Proposal submission
- Government review
- Shortlisting
- Award workflow
BTI integrates AI-assisted proposal intelligence into the government proposal review workflow.
Instead of replacing the government's decision, the AI provides decision-support information such as:
- Overall proposal assessment
- Evaluation dimensions
- Structured scoring
- Strengths
- Potential weaknesses
- Supporting reasoning
- Explainable evaluation information
The final decision remains with the authorized government user.
After a proposal is awarded, BTI provides project monitoring capabilities to track implementation progress.
Government users can monitor project milestones and implementation information through the centralized portal.
BTI is designed to identify potential irregularities and risk patterns across tender and project data.
The intelligence layer can be used to surface:
- Suspicious patterns
- Unusual project activity
- Risk indicators
- Potential anomalies
- Relationships between procurement records
- Cases requiring further investigation
The system is intended as a decision-support and investigation aid, not as an automatic declaration of fraud.
Important actions within the platform are designed to maintain traceability.
Audit information can support:
- Verification activities
- Tender lifecycle events
- Proposal workflow events
- Government decisions
- Project monitoring activities
- Investigation workflows
This improves accountability and makes important actions easier to review.
