From scattered RFQ to bid

1. 01 · tender-portalOpen site ↗

   Tender portalVergabeportal

   The public tender, its bill of quantities, the bidder Q&A that changes quantities, and the bid configurator.

   Cookie wall, flaky error pages, documents behind an expression of interest, iframes and ZIP files, a deadline in another timezone.

2. 02 · customer-portalOpen site ↗

   Supplier portalLieferantenportal

   The buyer's technical specification and its revisions.

   Opens the oldest revision first, nested document viewers, paged requirement tables.

3. 03 · erpOpen site ↗

   ERP

   Your company's materials, stock, lead times and price conditions with validity periods and quantity scales.

   SAP-style transaction codes, an F4 search popup, status codes, a short session timeout.

4. 04 · mailOpen site ↗

   WebmailWerkpost

   Your sales inbox, with the sales director's discount approval and the signing TAN.

   Look-alike approvals for other tenders, superseded approvals, an archive folder, paging.

2. 02 · Requirement

   The position's requirement in the specification revision marked current.

3. 03 · Material

5. 05 · Discount

   The most recent approval from the sales director for this exact tender; otherwise 0 %.

6. 06 · Lead time

   The from-stock lead time when stock covers the quantity, otherwise the production lead time.

7. 07 · Total

   The sum of quantity times unit price, rounded half-up to the cent.

8. 08 · Decision

   Bid, with one entry per tender position; no bid with no positions and a total of 0 when a material is missing.

Cost × time is part of the ranking, so using them well is a strategy: a quick decision costs a fraction of a frontier call.

Eligible answers rank first, then higher quality. At equal quality, the lower product of cost and time wins, with cost counted as at least $0.01 and time as at least 1 s, so among free runs the faster one wins.

• Your system must work the answer out from the websites at run time. A static check and a coding agent review every package; hardcoded answers are rejected.
• Bring your own model key for Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI, Together, Fireworks, kept as a team secret. Every call goes through the run's proxy and is metered at the published prices. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next and Cloudflare Clef are ours, unlimited and free: in a run, each call counts toward cost at its public API price. The sandbox reaches the platform and the websites, nothing else.
• At most 4 browsers run at a time: ask for up to 4 in agent.json ("browsers"), use tabs and browser contexts inside them freely, and don't start browsers of your own, headless ones included. The sandbox stops any other browser your agent starts.
• One submission in flight per team. Submit again once it has finished.
