Public procurement radar: CPV and profile

Introduction

Firmify's public procurement radar surfaces notices from the official European portal TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), filtered automatically by your profile — CPV codes and keywords. This is an advisory triage tool, not legal or commercial advice; it does not guarantee eligibility, ranking, or success in any procedure.

TED and the radar

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the official European portal where public bodies from EU and related markets publish procurement notices. Hundreds of new notices — services, works, supplies, consulting — appear every working day.

Firmify reads publicly available TED data and loads it into the platform database. On every refresh, the system scores available notices against your profile and surfaces those with the highest match score.

CPV codes

CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) is the standardised European code system describing the subject matter of each contract. Every notice must carry at least one primary CPV code.

Codes are 8 digits + a check digit, e.g. 72212000-4 (Application software development services). In your Firmify profile you enter only the 8 digits without the check digit.

Steps in Firmify

1. Open the public procurement page

Sign in and open Public procurement from the dashboard menu. If the feature is enabled for your profile you will see the profile setup form.

2. Enter CPV codes

Enter one or more CPV codes separated by commas — for example 72212000, 45233000. The system also accepts 3–5-digit prefixes for broader coverage.

3. Add keywords

Keywords are matched against notice titles and descriptions. Enter words typical for your activity — e.g. development, mobile application, maintenance. Separate them with a new line or comma.

4. Save the profile

Click Save profile — the system immediately rescores available notices from the database. Results appear in the Matches section.

5. Review results

For each notice you see the title, CPV, score, and deadline. You can:

• Click Details for full information and an optional AI draft
• Save a notice for easier retrieval
• Hide irrelevant notices to keep the list clean

Match score

The displayed score is an automatic ranking hint — not an official award criterion and not a guarantee of any kind. Use it only as a prioritisation guide.

The score is built from three components:

The final score is a weighted sum. Only notices scoring above 18 points are displayed.

AI draft

When opening a notice's detail page you may see an AI assist button. Clicking it generates:

• A summary of the notice with key parameters
• Requirement ideas — what may be needed to participate
• Risks to verify — what to watch out for
• Sample questions to address to the buyer

Paid document pack for a specific notice

From the application workspace for a saved TED notice you can purchase a document pack with Word drafts: participation checklist, questions for the buyer, bid plan, technical proposal outline, and cover letter — prefilled from the notice and your notes. This is preparation for your own edits; it is not legal advice and does not include submitting a bid on CAIS EOP / another portal on your behalf. Payments are handled by Stripe.

In the app: saved notice → “I want to apply” → “Document pack” section.

The AI draft and the paid document pack are optional additions. Read the AI boundaries in the guide on AI assistance for TED notices.
