Problem 01
Tender qualification driven by gut
BD teams pursue 80% of what crosses their desk because there's no shared, evidence-based way to rank early-stage tenders against actual win probability.
Infrastructure & Construction
Deliver mega-projects with the risk map you never had.
For infrastructure operators, EPC contractors and major project owners.
Every mega-project is a network of contractors, sub-tiers, permits, communities and counterparties. Compass reveals ownership overlaps, cost signals, permit exposure and integrity risks before they turn into cost overruns and reputational events.
The problem
Contractor prequalification is a snapshot in time. Sub-tier ownership shifts silently. Cost & schedule overruns show in monthly reports when the underlying signals were readable weeks earlier. Integrity events on a subcontractor become the operator’s headline the next morning.
Data we integrate
- 01Project management, ERP & procurement systems (Primavera, SAP, Aconex)
- 02Contractor & sub-tier registries, credit and litigation data
- 03Permits, environmental filings, community & stakeholder feeds
- 04Sanctions, PEP, adverse media, tender & procurement portals
- 05Contracts, bonds & tender documents (PDF) — parsed into structured clauses
- 06Cost, commodity and geospatial data (satellite imagery where relevant)
How we contextualize
- Full contractor & sub-tier graph — ownership overlaps, shared directors and cross-project reuse.
- Tender integrity signals: coordinated bids, sequential IDs, overlapping IPs, price-fixing patterns.
- Early-warning on cost & schedule: fuses commodity moves, contractor stress and permit delays.
- Stakeholder & permit exposure map, geolocalised, updated continuously.
What's broken today
The structural problems we solve.
Problem 02
Partner and JV moves found in the press
Competitor JVs, consortium reshuffles and partner exits change the win equation — usually surfaced by an analyst the day after the SteerCo.
Problem 03
Program economics drift quietly
Regulatory shifts, commodity moves and stakeholder changes degrade program margin in increments too small to flag, until they compound into a write-down.

A concrete case
€850M rail lot: ring of ‘independent’ bidders exposed before award.
An infrastructure owner ran an €850M civil-works tender. Compass resolved the bidders, exposed two overlapping beneficial owners at Tier-2 and coordinated pricing patterns across three ‘independent’ consortia. The tender was re-structured, a compliant winner selected and the audit-ready dossier filed with the anti-corruption authority.

Program risk monitor
Regulatory, commodity and stakeholder signals tracked across active programs — with mitigation plays pre-drafted.
- 04
Bid/no-bid committee
Every opportunity arrives with the same structured evidence pack — making bid/no-bid a faster, more defensible call.

Common questions
What infrastructure leaders ask us first.
- Does Compass replace our tender management system?
- No. Compass ranks and enriches what's in your tender pipeline and CRM, and writes structured updates back. Your existing systems remain the source of truth.
- How does it surface partner and JV opportunities?
- Compass continuously monitors public signals across competitors, consortia and partner candidates — and ranks introductions by strategic fit and likely fit on the target tender.
- Can it support multi-country programs?
- Yes — Compass operates across jurisdictions, with localized regulatory monitoring and stakeholder context per country.
Trust by design
Evidence, explainability, audit — built into every output.
Source-level evidence
Every signal, score and recommendation links back to the underlying record — the email, the filing, the transaction, the document — with the source visible at a click.
Explainable recommendations
No black-box outputs. Each priority states why it was promoted, which signals contributed, which were declassed, and which model version produced it.
Audit trail by default
Signals, model versions, reviewers and actions are logged and reconstructable later — ready for internal control, regulators and your own governance.
Human-in-the-loop
Compass recommends. Authorized people decide. Every consequential action requires a named reviewer who can confirm, override or annotate the reasoning.
