Do you know that most business units or businesses that are focused on bidding business of government tenders typically rely on a conventionally run informal information gathering system through government departments via either in-house liasoning teams or liaison agents. But this is becoming obsolete as governments across the world are becoming more transparent thanks to digital initiatives. 

Now even though the government departments have been becoming transparent & are now publishing lot of tender information; be it the new tender releases or tenders result announcements, but making sense of large volumes of data would mean gathering unstructured information from thousands of sources across the globe or locally before the companies could even start to align their in-house teams to run detailed analysis for various important business scenarios like pricing strategy, identifying partners, identifying large product categories or identifying large business trends etc.

As much as an organization wants to make informed decision making, the cost of building and operating a data analytics team is high.

But having said that, it is possible to break down the large program into smaller programs and assess if there is part information that can be made available swiftly & accurately. This would still mean building a deep understanding of the government tendering portals, publicly available information, understanding different information structures for a given relevant authorities etc. An activity which requires an organization to have that kind of talent pool and resources dedicated to only this activity.
