Source registry & compliance gate
Every source carries jurisdiction, access method, terms and robots status, allowed and blocked paths, rate limits and a review date. No run starts without a server-side approval check.
Africa Tender Intelligence
Find AI tenders first. Then turn opportunity intelligence into bid action.
Africa Tender Intelligence prioritises artificial intelligence, GenAI, machine learning, data science and adjacent technology tenders across a trusted multi-source African procurement mesh. Each opportunity retains its publisher, source URL, capture time and evidence so your team can move from discovery to readiness and response with traceability.
Public and approved sources only. robots.txt, crawl delays and access controls are respected by default — never bypassed.

How it works
Five stages, each one accountable
Collection is a governed pipeline, not a scraper script. Each stage records its status, timing, retries and errors so you can see exactly how a record reached you.
- STEP 01
Discover sources
Register the public sources that matter to your markets. Each one is reviewed for terms, robots and licence before anything is collected.
- STEP 02
Collect responsibly
We prefer official APIs and feeds over page scraping, honour robots.txt and Crawl-delay, and never bypass logins, paywalls or bot protection.
- STEP 03
Normalise & resolve
Records are parsed, validated, de-duplicated and resolved into organisations, projects and assets, classified by industry and country.
- STEP 04
Analyse
Search the corpus, compare versions, follow entity relationships and read trend, country and industry analytics — with evidence one click away.
- STEP 05
Alert & export
Rules watch for new records, changed fields, new opportunities and source failures. Results leave as alerts, exports or API reads.
What “governed” means in practice
- ✓Only public sources that have passed terms, robots and licence review can be crawled.
- ✓Preference order: official API, licensed feed, RSS/Atom, sitemap, structured JSON-LD, HTML, public documents — browser rendering last.
- ✓robots.txt, Crawl-delay and Retry-After are honoured on every request.
- ✓Conservative defaults: one request every two seconds per host, at most two concurrent connections.
- ✓CAPTCHAs, logins, paywalls and bot protection are never bypassed.
- ✓Data minimisation is POPIA-aware; no sensitive personal data is harvested.
Platform
A complete collection-to-intelligence workspace
Everything from source approval to delivery lives in one place, so the chain from a published page to a decision stays unbroken.
Visual crawler builder
Compose Start URL → Discover → Filter → Fetch → Extract → Transform → Validate → Store → Analyse → Alert on a canvas. Editing never triggers a crawl — you run or test explicitly.
Corpus search & evidence drawer
Universal keyword plus faceted search over collected records, with a persistent drawer showing the field-level evidence behind every value.
Change intelligence
Records are versioned. New, removed and changed fields are diffed, scored for severity and filterable by country, industry, entity and source.
Trend & quality analytics
Market, country, industry and source-volume analytics with explicit time basis, plus completeness, validity, timeliness, consistency, uniqueness and confidence measures.
Entity knowledge graph
Companies, industries, countries, projects, tenders, buyers, regulators and sources connected as a graph — click any node or edge to open its evidence.
Country & industry intelligence
Configurable sector and country registries, regional filters for SADC, EAC, ECOWAS, COMESA, ECCAS and AMU, and coverage that never flattens Africa into one market.
Alerts
Rules for new records, changed fields, new opportunities, entity changes, source failures and thresholds — in-app, email or webhook, with throttling.
Exports & API
CSV and JSON exports today with XLSX and PDF prepared, plus a read API surface for data and BI teams.
Source health & operations
Per-source latency, HTTP and parser errors, field fill rates, drift state and dedup ratio, alongside queue, retry and rate-limit monitoring.
Coverage
Ten configured focus sectors — and room for yours
These are the sectors the platform is configured for today. They are editable focus areas, not a claim of an exhaustive or objective ranking: the industry registry accepts new sectors, keywords, synonyms and optional ISIC/UNSPSC mappings without any code change.
- MIN
Mining & Minerals
Exploration, extraction, beneficiation and mineral trade.
- ENR
Energy & Utilities
Generation, transmission, distribution, renewables and petroleum.
- AGR
Agriculture & Agro-processing
Primary agriculture, inputs, irrigation and food processing.
- CON
Construction & Infrastructure
Civils, buildings, roads, rail and infrastructure delivery.
- ICT
ICT & Telecommunications
Networks, data centres, software, cloud and digital services.
- FIN
Financial Services & Fintech
Banking, insurance, capital markets, payments and fintech.
- TRN
Transport & Logistics
Ports, rail, road freight, aviation, warehousing and corridors.
- HLT
Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals
Facilities, medical supply, pharmaceutical manufacture and regulation.
- WAT
Water & Environmental Services
Bulk water, sanitation, waste and environmental compliance.
- RMF
Retail, Manufacturing & FMCG
Consumer goods manufacture, distribution and retail networks.
African markets
Africa is not one jurisdiction
Every country carries its own region, currency, timezone and economic-community metadata, so filters and analytics follow real market structure rather than a single continental bucket.

Structural coverage. What is actually collected in a market depends on the public sources you register and approve there.

Use cases
What teams actually do with it
The same governed corpus supports very different jobs, because every record keeps its origin.
Market intelligence
Track activity, projects and entrants across chosen sectors and markets, with the source behind every claim.
Opportunities & tenders
Watch procurement and licensing notices from approved public portals, including amendments and deadline changes.
Competitor monitoring
Follow disclosed moves — sites, filings, appointments, product and price pages — as versioned records.
Regulatory & change monitoring
Detect changes in licences, tariffs, standards and regulatory notices, with previous-versus-current comparison.
Supplier & ecosystem intelligence
Map contractors, suppliers and partners appearing across public registers and award notices.
Price & product monitoring
Collect published product and price information where terms permit, and track movement over time.
Research & data teams
Use exports and the API to feed traceable, structured inputs into your own models and pipelines.
Trust
If it cannot be traced, it is not intelligence
Provenance is not a feature bolted onto the side. Substantive records carry the evidence needed to defend them in a board pack, a bid file or a compliance review.
Field evidence captured
- Value and raw value
- Source and source URL
- Capture timestamp
- Raw document hash
- Selector or source span
- Extraction method
- Confidence score
- Parser version
- Model version, if a model was used
- Version and change history
Where a field cannot be evidenced, the platform says so rather than presenting it as authoritative.
