Criteria read from tender rules: price 40%, technical merit 60% and three sub-criteria, then the documents required.

Reading the documents

What is picked out

Dates

Bid deadline with the time, last date for questions, site visit.

Documents

Those to attach to the bid, and separately those only the winning bidder will provide (certificates, contract form…).

Criteria

Price, technical merit, sub-criteria and their weightings, usually even in a table; otherwise a question.

Submission

Platform and its address, email accepted or refused, backup copy, signature required.

Checkable

A source for every figure

Next to each date or criterion: the file name, the page or passage, and the exact extract from the rules. You check at a glance, without reopening the PDF.

Files read: PDF, Word (.docx), OpenDocument, plain text, or the .zip archive as the platform supplies it, up to 8 MB per file (an archive counts for its whole size) and 20 files per tender. Old Word files (.doc) and spreadsheets are flagged as not read; a scanned PDF is flagged as unreadable: nothing is ever read as an empty file.

Reading of tender rules 2026/PNC/MAPA/03: deadline 27/03/2026 at noon, price 40% and technical merit 60%, each with its page.
A real public tender rulebook (Cévennes National Park, 2026) read by Ngento: every date and criterion with its page.

Questions

Anything missing becomes a question

No weightings in the rules, two different dates in the notice and the documents, weightings that do not add up to 100%: nothing is guessed. You are asked a question, with where to find the answer, and your answer is used everywhere.

As long as an essential piece of information is missing (identity, signatory; for the contract form: price, IBAN, VAT, advance, lots), the form concerned is not produced.

Two questions for this tender: the lots you bid for and reliance on other firms' capacities.

Price

Pricing, with benchmarks

For a purchasing plan that announces a range, three positions are suggested, low, middle and high; you stay in control of the amount. The buyer’s history shows the values of the contracts it has already awarded.

Questions about the documents

Does Ngento download the documents from the platform?
No. You download them yourself from the buyer’s platform, then upload them here. Ngento does not log into any platform.
What if the rules change?
Upload the new version and remove the old one: the documents are read again. The rules prevail for how to submit; if their date differs from the one you had entered, you are asked again.
Are my documents shared?
No. The files stay in your app, filed in your own space.
