Terms

Plain versions of the things that matter. Read the second one especially.

  1. 01

    What this is

    A tool that searches published UK procurement notices and produces an assessment of them against a profile you supply. It is software, not a service performed by a person.

  2. 02

    It is not advice

    Assessments, scores, rankings and recommendations are generated by a language model reading public text. They are advisory. They are not procurement advice, legal advice, or a substitute for reading the tender documents and forming your own judgement. Decisions you take are yours.

  3. 03

    Accuracy

    Notices are read as published. The bureau does not verify buyer claims, does not open documents behind a portal login, and cannot detect a notice that was withdrawn or amended after it was scraped. Deadlines and values shown in a report are only as current as the scrape that produced them — check the source before you rely on one.

  4. 04

    Your account

    Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including tokens spent by it.

  5. 05

    Tokens

    One token is £1. A search costs five tokens, charged when the analysis begins, whatever the run turns out to involve; a scheduled search will cost seven. Tokens have no cash value and are not refundable once spent. A run that assessed at least one tender is charged in full, including one you interrupt — the assessments it completed are kept in your archive. A run that finishes having assessed nothing is refunded in full, automatically.

  6. 06

    Fair use

    The bureau drives public portals on your behalf. Do not use it to place load on those portals beyond what a person doing the same searches would, and do not use it to collect data for resale as a competing dataset.

  7. 07

    Availability

    This is self-hosted software running on modest hardware. There is no uptime guarantee, and scheduled or unscheduled downtime will happen.

  8. 08

    Liability

    To the extent the law permits, the bureau is provided as-is and without warranty, and is not liable for lost bids, lost profit, or decisions taken on the strength of an assessment.

  9. 09

    Changes

    These terms may change. Material changes will be announced to registered addresses before they take effect.

Anything here you want explained?

These terms are meant to be read, not clicked past. If a clause is unclear or you need something in writing before you open an account, ask.
