BidSkim AI enhances procurement research by preserving evidence integrity

BidSkim, a service that matches UK suppliers to public-sector contracts, has developed a method for using AI assistants in procurement research. The key challenge addressed is maintaining the visibility of evidence when an AI transforms structured data into narrative answers. The approach emphasizes separating published facts, inferences, and unknown information to ensure accuracy and prevent misinterpretations, such as confusing historical awards with active opportunities. BidSkim's system, integrated with its MCP connection, maintains read-only access to tender data, allowing users to verify AI-generated insights against original sources. AI

IMPACT This approach could improve the reliability of AI-assisted research in specialized fields like procurement by ensuring data integrity.
