Pre-tender intelligence

See capital projects before they go to tender.

arclens reads the public record for you and shows what is coming to market 12 to 24 months out, with a source behind every figure.

What’s coming

Everything you need to see the market early.

01Pre-tender pipeline

Every capital project, from first mention to tender.

Follow projects through eight stages, from a line in a long-range plan to an open tender.

  • An eight-stage lifecycle that moves as new documents appear
  • Values restated in today’s dollars, so old estimates compare fairly
  • Funding status at a glance: confirmed, partial or not yet funded

02Project dossiers

The full story behind each project.

Every project gets its own file: scope, estimate, schedule, and the trail of documents that moved it forward.

  • A complete history of every reading, oldest to newest
  • Each figure linked to the public document it came from
  • Plain-language summaries of staff reports and council decisions

03Competitive landscape

Know who wins what, and how often.

See which firms win each kind of work, how much they have been awarded and how recently, before you decide to bid.

  • Leaderboards by type of work and contract size
  • Win rates wherever every bidder is published, and an honest blank where they are not
  • Firm profiles with their full competitive record

04Forecasts

Who is likely to bid, and what could derail it.

For projects still ahead of tender, arclens estimates which firms are most likely to compete and scores the risk of delay, always labelled as a forecast, never presented as fact.

  • Likely bidders for each work package, grounded in past awards
  • A tender-risk score across six factors: political, funding, commitment, readiness, cost and deliverability
  • Every forecast logged, so it can be checked against what actually happens

05Budget outlook

See where capital spending is heading.

Follow each owner’s capital budget year by year and sector by sector, what was adopted, and what is planned next.

  • Adopted history side by side with the forward plan
  • A breakdown by sector: water, roads, facilities, parks, housing and more
  • Spot growing programs before individual projects are named

06Opportunity check

Find what your list is missing.

Upload the opportunity list you already track. arclens matches it against its pipeline and shows the projects you don’t have yet.

  • Works with the spreadsheet you already keep
  • Matched, unmatched and new, at a glance
  • Your list is compared, never stored
