TenderLens checks a South African RFQ/Tender (procurement) response pack before it is submitted. A missing or expired document is a common reason bids are disqualified. The tool reads the buyer's requirements and the bidder's scanned pack, finds problems and points to the exact page. Examples are an expired CIDB or COID letter, an insurance cover below the tender's minimum, figures that disagree between documents, and totals that do not add up. The model only reads what is printed on a page. Ordinary code makes every pass or fail decision, and a finding is shown as an issue only if a second, differently worded read agrees and quotes the page. On six graded packs, strict detection of planted defects went from 18.8% to 27.6%. On the holdout packs it went from 15.1% to 24.4%. A pack costs about $1.05–1.70 and takes 3–5 minutes. It is a supervised aid and does not guarantee that a pack is compliant.
