What people ask us before the first meeting.
What is Carabela AI?
An autonomous, AI-powered bid department for companies that sell to the Spanish public sector. It finds the tenders that fit, decides which are worth pursuing, analyses the specifications and prepares the technical, administrative and financial offer, then follows the tender through and learns from the result. Your team reviews and signs.
Is it software or a service?
Both: technology, automation and a team with real public procurement experience. Unlike conventional tender software, there is no tool for you to operate every day. Carabela takes on the work itself, from finding the tender to submitting the bid.
How is it different from using ChatGPT or Claude directly?
A general-purpose model can help you read or draft a piece of text, but it knows neither your company nor the process. Carabela brings your company's context, the analysis of the file, the award criteria, the documentation, the price, the follow-up and the learning together in one system. More in ChatGPT for public tenders.
Where does it find the tenders?
In 41 public sources, watched around the clock, across more than 8 million indexed public tenders. Every notice is scored against what your company can deliver and evidence, so the ones that make sense come first, not an inbox full of alerts.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope and the number of tenders. We usually work on a success-based model, with part of our fee tied to the tenders you win. We put a concrete proposal together in a meeting, with your case in front of us.
Do you guarantee we will win?
No. Nobody can guarantee an award: the contracting body decides, on the offers it receives. What does change is how many well-matched tenders you can bid for, and how consistently good those bids are.
Does it work if we have never bid before?
Yes. We work with companies that already bid and with companies that want to start: which opportunities exist for what you do, which requirements usually come up, and what paperwork you will need. More in how to start bidding in Spain.
Who decides whether we bid?
You do. Bidding or passing, the final price and the signature can always wait for your approval, or be delegated if you choose. The level of autonomy is set for each company.
