Tender Mind AI
The construction ERP in Saudi Arabia built for general contracting companies.
Tender to final account in one system — with AI that reads the tender pack, extracts the BOQ, prices it against your own historic rates and flags the clauses that will cost you later.
The problem
Contractors don’t lose money on site. They lose it in the paperwork around the site.
Bids priced on guesswork
Two weeks to read 400 pages, so the BOQ gets priced from memory and last year’s rates.
Variations never claimed
Instructions arrive by WhatsApp, get built, and never make it into a certified claim.
Cash trapped in IPCs
Progress claims built in Excel, rejected on a technicality, re-submitted a month later.
No live cost position
The real margin on a project is known at the final account — eighteen months too late.
The AI part
It reads the tender before your estimators do.
Upload the tender pack — Etimad download, PDF drawings, specification, BOQ in any format. Tender Mind AI returns a structured, priced, risk-flagged bid position in hours, in Arabic or English. Your estimator reviews and overrides; the system learns the corrections.

Inside the system
Project cost control, live
One screen the commercial manager and the owner both trust — because it is built from committed costs, not a monthly report.

Map & import
Your cost codes, rate history, subcontractor list and one live project.
Bid live
Estimators run a real tender through the AI alongside their normal process.
Cost control on
Commitments, IPCs and variations move into the system for that project.

Remaining projects, HR and ZATCA switched on. Your admins trained to configure it.
FAQ
Questions contractors ask before a rollout
Is there ERP software built specifically for Saudi general contractors?
Tender Mind AI is one: tender to final account in a single system,. It exists because off-the-shelf ERP was not written for the bid, the variation order or the IPC.
Can AI analyse a tender document pack?
Upload the Etimad download, drawings, specification and BOQ in any format and it returns a structured, priced, risk-flagged bid position in hours, in Arabic or English. The 412-page pack shown on this page is a worked example rather than a benchmark. Your estimator reviews and overrides, and the system learns the corrections.
Does the software do BOQ extraction and pricing for Saudi Arabia?
Every line item, quantity and unit is pulled out and matched to your cost library, then priced off what that item actually cost you on past projects rather than a market rate table.
Does it track Etimad tenders?
New tenders are tracked into a bid register and scored go / no-go, so estimators spend the fortnight on the ones you have a record of winning rather than on everything published.
Does it do construction cost control with earned value?
Budget versus committed versus actual by cost code, with earned value, live margin and forecast at completion — instead of learning the real margin at the final account, eighteen months late.
How does the software handle IPC and retention management in KSA?
Progress measurement, claim generation, advance recovery and retention release tracking, carried through to a ZATCA-cleared invoice. Average IPC certification across the contractors running it is nine days.
Can it track variation orders?
Site instruction capture, pricing, approval trail and claim status. The point is that a variation is priced and claimed while it is still a live instruction, rather than discovered at final account.
Does the software cover subcontractor management in Saudi Arabia?
Packages, back-to-back terms, performance scoring and payment certificates — plus subcontractor comparison at the estimating stage, so the package price you bid is the one you can buy.
Does it cover ZATCA e-invoicing, GOSI and payroll?
Labour allocation to cost codes, GOSI, Qiwa, Mudad and ZATCA e-invoicing sit in the HR, payroll and compliance module — on the same database as the tender that started the job.
Is the construction ERP hosted in-Kingdom for Saudi companies?
Yes — it is hosted in-Kingdom, and licensed per project and per user. The AI only ever sees your own documents, and a person approves anything that leaves the building before it is submitted.
