What exactly does Lucius AI do?
Lucius reads public tenders (RFPs, RFQs, calls for proposals), matches them to your service profile, and helps you draft high-quality proposals in your tone, not generic AI fluff.
Is this just ChatGPT with a different UI?
No. Lucius is wired specifically for tenders: we store your company profile, past wins, and preferences; we score tenders for fit; and the drafting flow is structured for compliance and evaluation criteria.
Which countries and platforms do you support?
We focus on UK and European public procurement, including G-Cloud, Contracts Finder, NHS frameworks, local authority tenders, and TED (EU Tenders Electronic Daily). We support bidding in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, and other EU countries. You can configure your target countries, CPV codes, languages, and exclusions.
Will Lucius replace our tender writer?
No. Lucius is a copilot, not a replacement. It saves your team hours on first drafts, boilerplate and compliance sections so senior people can focus on strategy and fine-tuning.
How is our data stored and secured?
Your company profile and drafts are stored in a dedicated database behind authenticated APIs. We don't sell or share your data with third parties, and we can provide a basic DPA on request.
What does pricing look like?
We start with a simple per-seat subscription for small teams, with custom pricing for agencies and larger procurement teams. You can start with a single seat and upgrade later.

How accurate is the tender analysis?
Lucius uses advanced AI to extract key information, detect risks, identify deadlines, and analyze compliance requirements with high accuracy. Our forensic PDF scanning technology ensures comprehensive document analysis.
What file formats do you support?
Currently, we support PDF files for tender documents. Our system can handle complex, multi-page PDFs and extract text, tables, and structured data.
Is my tender data confidential?
Absolutely. All tender documents and analysis data are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties, and you can delete your data at any time.
Can multiple team members use the same account?
Yes! Our team plans allow multiple users to collaborate on tender analysis and proposal drafting. You can manage team members, roles, and permissions from your dashboard.

Can I use Lucius for EU tenders and TED contracts?
Absolutely. Lucius supports European public procurement contracts published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) and national procurement portals across EU member states. Our system understands CPV codes, multi-language requirements, and EU procurement directives.
