Overview

What is Tendios?

Tendios is a Spanish software-as-a-service platform that applies artificial intelligence to public procurement, and it addresses both sides of that market from a single technology base. Companies that bid for contracts work in one application, at bid.tendios.com; the contracting authorities that publish those contracts work in a separate one, at create.tendios.com. The publisher, Tendios Technologies SL, is based in Barcelona.

At its foundation is an aggregation layer. The platform claims to consolidate more than two million tenders in real time, drawn from over fifty portals and sources across Spain and Europe, together with more than eight years of award history. On top of that database sits Vera, an AI assistant specialised in public procurement, available on every plan with a monthly allowance of AI credits that ranges from 25 on the entry tier to 10,000 on Enterprise.

For bidders, the working sequence is search, then qualify, then manage. More than twenty filters narrow the database by CPV code, keyword, procedure, budget, contract type, source and submission date. Saved profiles become real-time alerts. AI then summarises each tender dossier, answers questions about it through a chatbot, suggests qualification questions, runs a solvency analysis and drafts proposals and technical reports, which a validator checks back against the specification. Opportunities move through kanban pipelines with custom statuses, owners, deadlines and custom fields, while market analytics report on past awards, prices, competitors and contracting bodies.

For public bodies, the emphasis shifts to producing documents rather than responding to them: an assistant grounded in the applicable legal framework, a generator that drafts PPT and PCAP specifications in minutes, a bid comparator, automated compliance validators, budget calculation, milestone planning and traceability designed for European funds.

The company reports more than 5,000 companies and 500 public entities as users. The platform runs in seven interface languages, offers twenty-two named integrations, and its information systems are certified at ENS High category by AENOR.

Audience

When to use Tendios / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if Tendios is the right fit.

When to use Tendios

  • Spanish SMEs and sole traders taking their first steps in public tendering, served by the entry-level Pro plan

Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how Tendios handles your data.

GDPR overview

GDPR implementation is documented rather than merely asserted. Clause 11.3 of the terms sets out a full processor agreement: Tendios is the data processor, the customer the controller, and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is defined by name. Tendios undertakes to disclose at any time where data is held, to document adequate safeguards for international transfers, and to maintain a consultable list of sub-processors with seven days' notice before any change. The security policy of 12 September 2025 sets compliance with the GDPR, the Spanish LOPDGDD and Law 10/2021 as objectives, and is aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and the ENS. AENOR has certified the systems at ENS High category, reference ENS-2026/0101, valid until 14 July 2028. No data protection officer is named, and no Article 27 representative is required since the publisher is established in Spain.

Who owns the data?

The terms are unambiguous on this point: the customer and its authorised users remain the sole owners of the information they supply to Tendios or store in the service, and no title, licence or right of use beyond running the platform is transferred to the vendor. Tendios acts as data processor, the customer as controller. Intellectual property in the software itself, and in any extension or improvement derived from it, stays with Tendios, which also forbids reverse engineering, resale and sublicensing. Users can update, amend or delete their own information from their account settings or by writing to the company.

Reuse rights

Because ownership stays with the customer, a company may reuse its own tender data, uploaded documents and generated outputs freely, without asking Tendios for permission. The vendor's own processing is framed narrowly by the privacy policy: running and maintaining the service, managing the account, performing the contract, contacting the user, sending information about similar services that the user can decline, handling requests, business transfers, and analysing usage trends. Data may be shared with service providers, affiliates, business partners, and with other users where information is posted in public areas. Reverse engineering, resale and the publication of benchmarks about the software are all prohibited. No document on the site states whether customer data feeds AI model training; the comparison page describes a retrieval-augmented architecture over a vector database rather than a trained model.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
The privacy policy sets no fixed periods. Personal data is kept only for as long as the purposes described in the policy require, plus whatever legal obligations, dispute resolution and enforcement of the company's agreements demand. Usage data is generally held for a shorter time, except where it serves security or product improvement, or where the law requires longer. Users may update, amend or delete their information from their account settings or by contacting the company, with the caveat that some records may have to be retained under a legal obligation. Under the terms, confidential information is destroyed or returned on request, while the duty of confidentiality itself runs indefinitely for as long as the information keeps that character. No figure in days, months or years is published anywhere, and the policy dates from 30 November 2022.
DPA available

Hosting summary

Hosting is European throughout. The AENOR certificate, the most precise source the company publishes, names two external data centres: Hetzner in the EU-Central region, at Nuremberg and Helsinki, and DigitalOcean in Frankfurt. The certified activities themselves are carried out from the company's Barcelona premises on Placa del Doctor Letamendi. A DNS lookup on the domain is consistent with this, resolving to a Hetzner Online address in Falkenstein, Germany. The comparison page markets compliance, protection and security of European data as a differentiator against generalist assistants. Contractually, the terms oblige Tendios to disclose at any time where customer information and personal data are held, and to supply documentation of adequate safeguards for any international transfer. The privacy policy is far less precise: written from a generic template, it notes only that information may be transferred to and held on computers outside the user's own jurisdiction, and names no country. Germany and Finland are therefore the two hosting countries evidenced by a published first-party document.

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Tendios.

  • Three renderings of the legal name circulate on the site, TENDIOS TECHNOLOGIES SL in the legal notice, TENDIOS TECHNOLOGIES, S.L. in the structured data and Tendios S.L. in the terms, so check which entity your contract names
  • Two different addresses are used: the registered office on Carrer del Consell de Cent, and a separate notification and jurisdiction address on Placa del Doctor Letamendi that also appears on the ENS certificate
  • The privacy policy is dated 30 November 2022, predates the company's incorporation, reads as a generic template and even carries a translation error, so treat its retention and minimum-age clauses with caution
  • The headline monthly price assumes an annual commitment; read the billing toggle before budgeting, because paying month by month costs roughly a fifth more on every tier
  • No document on the site says whether customer data is used to train AI models, so raise the question in writing before signing if it matters to you
  • AI summaries and generated proposals are drafting aids, not legal advice: in procurement a missed clause or a misread award criterion is disqualifying, and the specification itself still has to be read by a human
  • Leaning on automated opportunity detection can quietly narrow a company's field of view, since alerts surface only what the profile was configured to catch and an over-tight filter hides viable contracts without saying so
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

Low. Tendios is a hosted web application with nothing to install: you sign up online without a credit card, and the site advertises a five-minute setup. The only real configuration step is defining an activity profile once, with CPV codes, keywords and filters, which then drives the alerts. Onboarding is included at every tier, from self-serve on Pro to a bespoke programme on Enterprise, and a dedicated account manager comes with all paid plans. Technical effort appears only at the top of the range, where CRM, Power BI and API integrations are described as custom and negotiated.

Fundraising

Bootstrapped at the outset: on its own about page the company recounts that founder Xavi Creus and his partner put their personal savings in to fund the first two hires.
A first capital increase in early 2023, described by the company as an FFF round (family, friends and fools), brought in the first outside investors once product-market fit had been validated; one of them, Albert, joined as co-founder and co-CEO.
Company registry filings list two venture capital firms as board members: EASO Ventures II S.C.R. S.A. and Ona Capital Privat SCR S.A.
The same filings record a capital increase on 17 October 2025 and the granting of Spanish emerging-company status under Law 28/2022 on 22 July 2025. Share capital at incorporation was EUR 3,000.
No fundraising amounts are published on the company website.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does Tendios actually do?
It is an AI platform for public procurement that works from both sides of the market. Companies use it to find, analyse and win public contracts; contracting authorities use it to draft specifications, compare bids and run their files more quickly. Both sides work on the same underlying tender database.
How many tenders does the platform cover?
Tendios reports more than two million tenders available in real time, gathered from over fifty portals and sources across Spain and Europe, alongside more than eight years of award history. Standard plans cover one country; only Enterprise offers a custom number of countries.
Is there a free trial or a free plan?
There is a free trial on every plan, with no credit card required and a setup the company advertises as taking five minutes. The public tender search can also be used without an account. There is no permanent free tier in either pricing table.
How much does the cheapest plan cost?
The Pro plan starts at EUR 31 per month when billed annually, which works out at EUR 372 per year, or EUR 37 per month if you pay month by month. Prices exclude tax. Public-sector plans start higher, at EUR 400 per month for the Starter tier.
Does Tendios offer an API?
Yes, but only on the Enterprise plan, which lists programmatic access to the data alongside custom CRM and Power BI integration. No public API documentation is published on the website, so the technical details have to be obtained through the sales process.
Who owns the data uploaded to the platform?
The customer does. The terms state that the customer and its authorised users are the sole owners of the information they provide or store in the service. Tendios acts as data processor and the customer as controller, and intellectual property in the software itself stays with Tendios.
Where is the data hosted, and is the platform certified?
Hosting is European: the AENOR certificate names Hetzner data centres in Nuremberg and Helsinki and a DigitalOcean facility in Frankfurt. The information systems are certified at ENS High category under reference ENS-2026/0101, valid until 14 July 2028, and the security policy is aligned with ISO/IEC 27001.
How can a public authority purchase Tendios?
The company describes the usual route as the Ninth Additional Provision of Law 9/2017 on public sector contracts, that is access to a specialised database under the rules for minor contracts up to the SARA threshold, with the open procedure applying above it.
Conclusion

Should you pick Tendios?

Tendios is a vertical tool, and that is its main argument. Rather than a general assistant pointed at tender documents, it is built around Spanish procurement practice, with CPV codes, ROLECE registration, SARA thresholds and TACRC appeals treated as first-class concepts, and it covers both the companies that bid and the authorities that publish. The aggregation claim is substantial: more than two million tenders from over fifty sources, with eight years of award history behind it.

Several signals suggest a company taking its obligations seriously. Its information systems carry an ENS High-category certificate issued by AENOR and valid until July 2028, hosting is entirely European, and the terms set out a detailed processor clause with an undertaking to disclose sub-processors and to document transfer safeguards. Phone support and a dedicated account manager from the entry tier upwards are unusual at this price.

Other signals point to a young company, incorporated in March 2023 and still filling gaps. The privacy policy predates the company itself, reads as a generic template and is served inside a PDF frame rather than as a readable page. There is no public API documentation, no mobile application despite a terms clause mentioning one, and no published sub-processor list. Nothing on the site says whether customer data is used to train models.

On price, read the billing toggle carefully: the headline figure is the monthly equivalent of an annual commitment, and month-by-month costs about a fifth more. Prospective buyers should also confirm which legal entity and which address their contract names, since the site uses three renderings of the company name and two different Barcelona addresses.
