Company profile
researched Aug 2026Minerva operates a software platform that applies AI to public procurement, consolidating tender search, qualification, document analysis and change monitoring into a single workflow intended to replace the combination of separate tools and spreadsheets that bidding teams otherwise use. The platform aggregates more than 10,000 procurement sources, including government portals, buyer procurement platforms, industry databases and European sources such as TED, and states that over 100,000 pages of tender documentation are processed daily.
Three functional areas are described. Search delivers a curated list of tenders matched to a company profile each morning at 6:30. Analysis extracts requirements, risks and evaluation criteria from long procurement documents into summaries, with each extracted item accompanied by a citation to the source document so users can verify it; the company describes reducing document review from about five hours to roughly 15 minutes. Monitoring provides round-the-clock alerts on changes to followed tenders, such as deadline changes, new answers to questions, updated documents and announced winning prices. Accounts can be configured with separate search engines per business area, each with its own matching criteria, filters and views for different departments or specialisations. The company states that the service is GDPR compliant and that data is stored in the EU.
Business model
Minerva sells access to its tender search, analysis and monitoring platform to companies that bid for public contracts, with a self-service login at app.useminerva.com and a sales process that begins with a booked demo call. Marketing materials reference no-commitment terms, and the company also solicits partnerships and joint projects.
Traction
The company states it is used by more than 450 organisations, that clients have won over €4.8B in public tenders, and reports implementation counts by sector: construction 200+, medical technology 50+, services 50+, IT and technology 40+, renewable energy 35+, manufacturing 25+ and defence 20+. Testimonials cite a medium-sized construction company (Arison Construction) with a first tender won worth about €2.3M after implementation, and an information management company (Iron Mountain) reporting an 80% reduction in tender analysis time.

Market position
Minerva presents itself as an AI-based procurement intelligence platform for bidders rather than for contracting authorities, serving organisations from micro-businesses to enterprises across multiple regulated sectors in Europe.
Positioning centres on replacing multiple portals, tools and spreadsheets with one automated workflow covering search, qualification, document analysis and monitoring; industry-specific configuration that accounts for the distinct language, documents and disqualification risks of each sector; source-level citations for every extracted requirement; and EU data storage with GDPR compliance.
Technology
AI-based tender search and matching against a company profile, plus document analysis that reads full tender documentation — specifications, terms of reference and attachments — to extract certifications, standards, references, technical parameters, risks and evaluation criteria, providing a citation to the source document for each extracted item. The system ingests over 10,000 procurement sources and analyses more than 100,000 pages of tender documentation per day, and monitors followed tenders continuously for changes.
Go-to-market
Direct sales led by a "Book a call" demo motion on the website, supported by industry-specific landing pages, customer testimonials and aggregate outcome statistics. Dedicated addresses handle support, partnerships and media enquiries, and the company runs a careers page for hiring.
Companies selling into public procurement across a range of sizes and sectors. Minerva markets separate propositions to micro-businesses seeking their first tender win, small and medium enterprises without a dedicated bid team, and enterprises managing tender portfolios across multiple markets. Named industry verticals include construction, medical technology, renewable energy, IT and technology, manufacturing, services and defence, with the FAQ also citing healthcare, security and logistics.
Geography
European focus: coverage includes national government procurement portals, buyer platforms and European sources such as TED, with examples referencing Polish contracting authorities including the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the City of Wrocław and the City of Poznań. Data is stored in the EU.
Risks & controversies
Traction and outcome figures such as the 450+ organisations, €4.8B in tenders won and per-industry implementation counts are company-reported and not independently verified in the available material.
