Key Capabilities

What it does

Word Add-In

Draft method statements, management approach sections, and social value responses directly in Word. Mevin searches your Vault for relevant past content and suggests draft language adapted to the current tender's award criteria and MEAT weightings. Insert capability descriptions, case studies, and CVs from your content library with a single click.

Excel Add-In

Build pricing schedules and BOQ worksheets in Excel with AI assistance. Mevin auto-populates labour categories and rates from framework benchmarks. Validates pricing structure against the tender's commercial requirements. Flags calculation errors and missing line items before you submit.

SharePoint Integration

Access your Vault content directly from SharePoint. Search past bid responses, method statements, and case studies without leaving your document library. Mevin indexes your SharePoint content alongside Bidovate-native Vault content for a unified search experience.

Google Docs and Chrome Extension

Mevin's Chrome extension surfaces relevant tender intelligence while you are browsing procurement portals. In Google Docs, draft bid sections with Vault-grounded AI assistance. Qualify new tenders, generate compliance checklists, and check submission readiness without switching to a separate application.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Install the add-in or extension

Install the Word or Excel add-in from Microsoft AppSource, the SharePoint connector from your admin centre, or the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Setup takes under five minutes.

2

Mevin connects to your Vault

Mevin indexes your Vault content, including past bid responses, method statements, case studies, CVs, and capability descriptions, making it available wherever you work.

3

Ask Mevin directly in your document

Type a question or prompt in the Mevin panel: draft a method statement for grounds maintenance services, or what did we say about our social value approach in the last NHS bid. Mevin returns grounded, relevant content in under 30 seconds.

4

Insert, adapt, and submit

Insert AI-suggested content directly into your document. Adapt it with your team's expertise and win themes. Mevin's compliance checks confirm you have addressed all required sections before you submit.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Your bid team lives in Word, Excel, SharePoint, and email. Mevin brings Bidovate's AI directly into those tools so the intelligence is available at the exact moment it is needed, not locked behind a separate platform.
