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:
- Portal javnih nabavki (UJN) — Serbia
- TED — Zapadni Balkan — Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia

How to read a tender card
Every card condenses what matters for a decision. Here is what each field means.
The procurement subject and the institution issuing it (naručilac). The authority hints at the type of work and its procurement history.
The date and time by which a bid is accepted. Once it passes, applying is no longer possible — track it early.
The indicative budget the authority estimated. It helps you quickly judge whether the job fits your size.
The CPV code is the official procurement category; the subject is a short description. They are how a card matches your search template.
On Pro plans the card carries a relevance score and a short explanation of why the tender fits you.
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.
Bid = you go for the tender and prepare an offer. No-bid = you deliberately skip it because the odds or payoff are not enough.
The subject is in your field, you meet the conditions, the deadline is realistic, and the estimated value justifies the effort.
Too short a deadline, conditions you cannot meet, an unclear specification, or a margin too thin to cover the cost of preparing a bid.
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.
