Telegram bot

The @Nabrs_bot sends matches for your template and offers AI actions right on the tender card. Control it with simple commands:

Sources

We track public procurement sources: Portal javnih nabavki (UJN), TED — Zapadni Balkan. We send only current tenders that arrived after a source was switched on — the archive is not sent.

Sources are chosen per template: open a template in your dashboard and tick the sources in the “Sources” field. A new template follows Serbian sources by default; you switch on foreign ones yourself.

Connected sources:

What each source provides and how often we check for new notices

Pricing and payment

A new account gets 30 days of Pro for free. Pro and Business are for active bidding: more templates, Telegram delivery and a monthly AI analysis volume.

No annual contract, cancel anytime. Details and current prices are on the pricing page.

How to read a tender card

Every card condenses what matters for a decision. Here is what each field means.

Title and contracting authority

The procurement subject and the institution issuing it (naručilac). The authority hints at the type of work and its procurement history.

Submission deadline

The date and time by which a bid is accepted. Once it passes, applying is no longer possible — track it early.

Estimated value

The indicative budget the authority estimated. It helps you quickly judge whether the job fits your size.

CPV and subject

The CPV code is the official procurement category; the subject is a short description. They are how a card matches your search template.

Relevance (AI)

On Pro plans the card carries a relevance score and a short explanation of why the tender fits you.

Documentation and actions

Links to the tender documentation and buttons for AI actions (deep analysis, verdict, checklist, draft) sit on the card itself.

Bid / no-bid: is it worth it

“Bid or no-bid” is the decision whether to invest effort and submit a bid — or skip the tender and save resources for a better one.

What it means

Bid = you go for the tender and prepare an offer. No-bid = you deliberately skip it because the odds or payoff are not enough.

When to go (for)

The subject is in your field, you meet the conditions, the deadline is realistic, and the estimated value justifies the effort.

When to skip (against)

Too short a deadline, conditions you cannot meet, an unclear specification, or a margin too thin to cover the cost of preparing a bid.

How AI helps

On Pro plans the “Is it worth it” button gives a verdict (go / consider / skip) with arguments for and against — the final call is yours.

30-day trial

Every new account gets 30 days of Pro for free — with notifications and all AI features. After that, delivery pauses until you send a subscription request (Pro or Business). The full price list is on the pricing page.

Ponuđač (bidder)
The company that submits a bid for a tender — in most cases that is you.

Konkursna dokumentacija (tender documentation)
The authority's set of documents with conditions, the specification and forms for submitting a bid.
CPV
Common Procurement Vocabulary — the official classification of the subject by codes, used for filtering.
Okvirni sporazum (framework agreement)
An agreement with one or more bidders that sets the terms for future procurements over a given period.
Otvoreni postupak (open procedure)
A procedure in which any interested party may submit a bid within the set deadline.

Standard notice forms: F02 — contract/procurement notice, F03 — contract award (outcome) notice.

FAQ

How often are tenders searched?
The system scans public procurement sources (Portal javnih nabavki (UJN), TED — Zapadni Balkan) daily.
Can I have more than one search template?
Yes, the number of templates depends on your plan — see the pricing page for details.
How do keywords and stop words work?
Each line is an AND-group (all comma-separated terms must match), while lines act as OR between each other. Stop words exclude tenders containing them.
What are CPV codes?
The official procurement classification. Filtering by codes works independently of keywords — you can combine both.
How do I connect Telegram?
On your dashboard, the “Connect Telegram” button walks you through linking your account.
Do I need a paid plan to start?
No. Every new account gets 30 days of Pro for free — with delivery and AI features. After the trial, delivery and AI work on Pro and higher.
