Ask the AI about this notice
An AI model reads the data of this notice and answers. It can be wrong and it is not legal advice: the official notice and its documents are what binds.

Ask a question about this notice
Write your question in your own words. The answer comes from what this notice states, and says so when the notice does not state it.
Bid or no bid: the points for and against
What in this notice and in the buyer's record speaks for a bid, what speaks against, and what to check first in the documents. Points to weigh, not a recommendation: the AI knows nothing about your company.
What to read twice in this notice
The terms of this notice that are demanding, unusual or easy to miss: a short time to bid, a guarantee, one large lot, criteria that weigh heavily. Each one is tied to what the notice states.
What to prepare: a list from this notice
The documents, proofs and steps this notice says it asks for, as a list to tick off. Only what the notice states: the full list is in the procurement documents.
Explain this notice in plain words
For a first tender: what is being bought, by whom, how large it is and by when, in everyday language, with the terms of the trade explained.
Draft a clarification question to the buyer
Say what is unclear to you. The AI drafts a short, polite question to the buyer in the language of the notice, with a translation when that is not your language. Your name stays a blank for you to fill in.

The four formulas, and where you stand under each
- Proportional to the lowest price
- The lowest price takes all the price points; every other bid gets them in the proportion of the lowest price to its own.
- Linear, from the lowest to the highest
- The lowest price takes all the price points and the highest takes none, on a straight line between the two.
- Discount on the estimated value
- Points follow the discount on the estimated value: the largest discount takes them all, a bid at the estimate takes none.
- Around the average discount
- Discounts up to the average of all bids earn up to 85% of the price points; the last 15% is shared out between the average and the largest discount. Common in Italy and Spain, where the documents may set another share.
The tender documents state the formula the buyer really uses, and it may be none of these. Read them before you price your bid.

An average over many bids like this one, not a forecast of this one. A reference won, a new client or a framework that leads to more work are worth something this sum does not count.
How to submit
Doffin is where this notice was published. The bid goes somewhere else.
Not legal advice. Rules and portals change: check the buyer's documents and the official portal.
Show the 5 steps
- Doffin publishes notices; it does not take bids.
- Open the official notice and look for the address for submitting tenders. It names the buyer's own e-procurement platform, and that is where the bid goes.
- Create a supplier account on that platform well before the deadline. Accounts are usually free, and some platforms check a new company by hand, which takes days.
- Upload the bid hours, not minutes, before the deadline. The platform's clock decides, and a late bid is usually refused.
- Keep the confirmation the platform issues: it shows when the bid arrived.
