Public Tenders: win more without spending all day searching

Mercado Público publishes hundreds of tenders a day and most of them have nothing to do with you. The Public Tenders module reviews them for you, calculates how well each one fits what you actually do, and alerts you in time to apply.

Anyone who sells to the government knows the routine: log into Mercado Público, filter by category, open twenty tabs, discard nineteen. It's necessary work, and it's work that gets done late, done badly, or not done at all. And when it doesn't get done, the tender that was a perfect fit closes without anyone ever seeing it.

The module isn't just another search engine. The difference is in the filter.

The idea in one line

It's not about showing you more tenders, but about showing you the few worth reading — with an explicit reason why each one fits your business.

Fit with your business, not keywords

Each tender is evaluated against what your company actually does: your business lines, your certifications, your size, your track record. The result is a fit score with a written justification that you can read and discuss.

Explained score
Not a bare number: the reason this tender fits you, in one sentence. If it doesn't fit, we won't show it to you as if it did.
Mercado Público and private
The focus is public procurement, but private opportunities and contests that arrive through other channels are included too.
Dates that matter
Publication date, closing date and days remaining at a glance. The ones about to expire move up the list.
Amount and agency
With currency conversion when applicable, so you can quickly decide whether the size of the tender makes sense for your operation.
History
What you applied for, what you won and what you lost, so the next decision doesn't start from zero.

From alert to application

Spotting the tender is the first step; building the proposal is the hard part. Because the module lives inside Hapee, the opportunity doesn't sit in isolation: it becomes assigned tasks with due dates on your team's board, and the material you already have — presentations, certificates, case studies — is in the same place.

  • A high-fit tender generates the preparation tasks with an owner and a deadline.
  • Your company's background documents stay reusable from one application to the next.
  • The sales team sees on one board what's in preparation and what's about to expire.

Who it's for and who it isn't

It's for anyone who sells to the government or to large companies with formal purchasing processes, and who currently reviews opportunities by hand. It's not for anyone who sells exclusively retail or direct to consumers: there are no tenders to follow there, and the module would just be decoration.

If you're in the first group, turn it on and define your business lines carefully: the quality of the filter depends on how well what you do is described.
