The Afaq system for bid evaluation using artificial intelligence techniques is an intelligent system aimed at facilitating and accelerating the processes of bid analysis thru the employment of artificial intelligence technologies. Afaq Company, one of the small and medium-sized enterprises, developed this system in collaboration with the Projects and Tenders Authority and the Local Content Authority, under the supervision of the National Center for Space and Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence.
The system relies on automating the stages of technical and financial evaluation and preparing comprehensive analytical reports that include evaluation results and initial award recommendations, contributing to enhancing the efficiency and objectivity of the decision-making process, and supporting the selection of the most suitable offers in a timely manner. The system was implemented in a practical trial that included uploading tender documents and analyzing the bids submitted by several companies. The system generated a detailed evaluation for each bid, explaining the reasons for qualification or disqualification and the justifications related to that, thereby supporting transparency and assisting the relevant authorities in the evaluation process.
The experiment faced several technical challenges, the most notable of which was the limited access to real documents due to administrative restrictions and data confidentiality requirements, necessitating the reliance on experimental data in the initial stages. And with the subsequent transition to testing the system on models of real tenders and offers, a set of improvement aspects emerged that require development before moving on to the later stages of marketing the system. The National Center for Space and Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence values this experience and considers it an important milestone in efforts to employ artificial intelligence technologies in bid analysis and explore future expansion opportunities in this field.
