AI Procurement Software
AI procurement software built for fair and defensible evaluation
AWARD® is AI-powered procurement software designed to improve evaluation quality, reduce bias, and support confident decision making in major procurement projects.
Rather than automating judgement or replacing assessors, AWARD® applies practical AI directly within evaluation workflows to help teams produce clearer, more objective, and more defensible outcomes.
What makes AWARD® AI procurement software different
Most AI procurement software focuses on automation, sourcing speed, or data aggregation.
AWARD® is different. Its AI capability is designed specifically to support the most critical and scrutinised part of procurement evaluation.
AWARD® helps assessors write better rationales, maintain professional tone, and reduce the risk of challenge, while keeping full human control over every decision.
How AWARD® uses AI in procurement
AWARD® includes a live AI capability called Evaluator Assist – Assessor Response Sentiment Analysis.
Evaluator Assist supports assessors as they write evaluation rationales by reviewing responses in real time and suggesting improvements where needed.
What Evaluator Assist does
- Automatically reviews written rationale responses
- Identifies emotive or biased language
- Suggests improvements for clarity, tone, and professionalism
- Supports consistency across evaluators and panels
- Improves the quality of evaluation records
What Evaluator Assist does not do
- It does not replace assessor judgement
- It does not overwrite or edit text automatically
- It does not make scoring decisions
Assessors remain fully in control at all times.
Practical AI built into real evaluation workflows
Evaluator Assist operates directly within AWARD® as part of the evaluation process.
There are no additional tools, no separate interfaces, and no extra steps required. Suggestions appear automatically after a short delay, allowing assessors to review and decide whether to apply them.
This approach ensures AI supports the evaluation process without disrupting it.
AI you can trust in regulated procurement
AWARD® is used in high scrutiny procurement environments where transparency and defensibility matter.
The AI capability within AWARD® is designed to align with these requirements.
- AI operates as an assistive capability, not a decision maker
- All suggestions are visible and optional
- Full audit trails and evaluation records are maintained
- Human accountability remains central
This makes AWARD® suitable public sector and other regulated procurement contexts.
Proven experience with AI in procurement
Evaluator Assist is the production evolution of an AI capability first demonstrated publicly during an AI in Procurement webinar, where an early prototype was shown supporting evaluator rationale writing.
That early work informed the released capability now available in AWARD®, ensuring the AI is grounded in real procurement practice rather than theory.
