Bid where you can win. Then write a better proposal.
Any alert service tells you a tender exists. It does not tell you if and how to win it. Argus gives you the facts for each step of your proposal. You and your assistant write the text.

You lose most tenders before you write a single word.
You lose to the resident supplier, to a price that you cannot match, or to criteria that were written for a competitor. Argus shows you the cause before you start.
Signs to stop
- The same company won the last three awards at this buyer.
- The typical winning price is far below your cost.
- Few companies show the references that the buyer asks for, (but you don't).
Signs to look closer
- Many different winners at this buyer in five years.
- You match the criteria and hold more references than others.
- Your own award reports show good scores at this buyer.
A “no” at the start saves days of work. To say no early, you need the facts early. For each tender, Argus sends back a summary like this (real) one:
Facts for each step, every day. Save time and write better.
A small bid team usually works on tenders in this order. This is where Argus takes work off your desk.
- Sort the new tenders. A scheduled task, n8n, Make or your CRM sent last week's new tenders to Argus. You open only the tenders that you can win.
- Decide: bid or do not bid. You check the buyer, the residents, the winning prices and the references of your competitors. You say yes or no before lunch.
- Build the outline. Your assistant builds the outline from the docs, the award criteria and their weights. Extra focus on the criteria where you lost points before.
- Improve the text. You ask your assistant: “Where does the buyer pay extra attention to?”. It corrects the text before you send it, to make it stand out.
- Upload the award report. The award report arrives, so you upload it and learn what worked, and how to do better next time.
You stay in control. Argus gives facts, not advice. There is no predicted score, no instruction to bid and no text to copy. Your proposal still sounds like you, your pipeline still works.
Upload the award reports that you already have.
Award notices show the criteria and the weights, but never the scores. The scores are in your award reports (gunningsverslagen), also called tender debriefs or tender feedback. If you bid before, you probably have loads. Do you know each lessons that's buried in there?
Upload them, and your next tender insights already show your own record. Argus links each report to its tender and reads every score, the initial criteria and content, and the evaluator's reasoning. Everything your competitors do and don't, and everything you could learn from them, is extracted and stored.

Each new award report strengthens the insights for every tender after it. Argus compares it with the earlier reports, so you see if a change in your proposal worked.
It works in your assistant, or without you.
There is no dashboard to learn. Connect your AI assistant through MCP, then ask a question in your usual chat. Your assistant gets the facts and gives the answer.
Only the data that a question needs leaves your chat, for example a tender title. The rest of your chat stays private.
Works with Claude (paid plan), ChatGPT (developer mode), all MCP clients, n8n and Make. Your IT administrator must allow custom connectors. Connect Argus in two minutes.
Are these objections yours?
- “We already have tender alerts.”
- Keep them. Argus gives you the facts to decide if you can win the tender that the alert found.
- “We only bid ten times a year.”
- So Argus costs €34.80 per bid. Far less than even one wasted proposal.
- “We are six people, that gets expensive.”
- The price is for the organisation, so that's €4.83 per person.
- “AI makes things up.”
- Argus gives facts from award notices and your own reports: names, amounts, dates and scores. It does not make up anything.
€29 a month. One proposal you do not write pays for five years.
€29 per month (excl VAT), for all users in your organisation. It includes the insights for each tender, the analysis of your award reports and the connection to your assistant.
A proposal takes about three days. At €600 a day, that is €1,800 of work. Argus costs €348 a year. If it stops one bid that you cannot win, it pays for five years.
The first 14 days are free. You add a card when you start, and billing starts on day 15. You pay each month upfront and can cancel at any time. Your award reports stay in your workspace. Other firms cannot see them, and you can delete them at any time.
