# Viran

> The AI-layer for public procurement. Viran helps suppliers across Europe find and win public tenders, and helps contracting authorities catch errors in tender documents before publication. Operated by Government Procurement Group Oy, a Finnish company, under Finnish procurement law (Hankintalaki 1397/2016) and EU directives. Viran is an AI platform for public procurement. It helps suppliers find and qualify the public tenders they can win, and helps contracting authorities review tender documents before publication.

Viran is a public-procurement platform, headquartered in Helsinki, that combines two AI products under a single brand. Viran Bid Team is an automated bid unit for suppliers: it screens more than 200,000 tenders a week worldwide, covering national procurement portals, EU-wide publication and multilateral institutions including NATO, the UN and the World Bank. It scores each tender against a supplier capability profile, returns a go / no-go with the reasoning, and drafts the response and its annexes. Viran Review is a pre-publication review for contracting authorities: it checks annex references, scoring tables, dates, suitability requirements and award criteria against the case law of the Finnish Market Court (markkinaoikeus) and the Supreme Administrative Court. The brand name "Viran" derives from the Finnish word "viranomainen" (public authority). Service available in Finnish and English.
