Win French Public Contracts — No French Required
France's public procurement market exceeds €200 billion annually, and EU law guarantees your right to bid from any European country. Yet the language barrier has kept most foreign companies out. Maître AO changes that: our AI reads French tender documents, scores opportunities against your profile, and writes your technical proposal in professional French — while you work entirely in English.
Why target French public procurement?
France is Europe's second-largest public procurement market. Over 150,000 contracts are published each year across construction, IT services, facilities management, security, catering, transport and more. Under EU Directive 2014/24/EU, any European company can bid — and French buyers cannot discriminate based on nationality.
Despite this, fewer than 5% of contracts go to foreign companies. The barrier isn't legal — it's practical: tender documents (DCE) are in French, the technical proposal (mémoire technique) must be written in French, and the administrative forms (DC1, DC2, DUME) follow French-specific formats.
How Maître AO removes the language barrier
Upload any French tender document — PDF, DOCX or ZIP. Our AI extracts every key detail: deadlines, scoring criteria (typically 40-60% on technical value), required documents, lot structure, and estimated contract value. You get a clear summary in English with a GO/NO-GO recommendation scored out of 100.
When you decide to bid, the AI generates your complete technical proposal (mémoire technique) in professional French, tailored to the specific requirements of each lot. It draws on your company profile, your experience, and the tender criteria to produce a document that reads like it was written by a native French public procurement expert.
What our AI handles for you
Full tender analysis: The AI parses all documents in the DCE (CCTP, CCAP, DPGF, RC) and extracts the critical information. You understand the opportunity in minutes, not days.
Technical proposal in French: The mémoire technique is the most important document in your bid — it typically drives 40-60% of the evaluation score. Our AI writes it in impeccable French, structured according to French public procurement standards.
Administrative documents: Automatic generation of DC1, DC2, DUME, DPGF and Engagement Act — the French administrative forms that foreign companies often find most confusing.
Market intelligence: Access data from 380,000+ historical French public contracts to understand pricing, competition, and win rates in your sector.
Market radar: find opportunities automatically
Our AI scans 16 French procurement platforms in real-time — BOAMP (the official French tender gazette), TED (European tenders), and 14 regional platforms. Each publication is scored against your company profile. You receive only the most relevant opportunities with a detailed relevance analysis.
Set up your sector, geographic preferences and keywords once. The radar does the rest — daily email alerts with scored opportunities, so you never miss a contract in your field.
Getting started in 3 steps
Step 1: Create your free account and fill in your company profile (sector, certifications, experience, turnover). This takes about 5 minutes and helps the AI tailor everything to your company.
Step 2: Upload a French tender document or configure the market radar to find opportunities. You'll get your first analysis within minutes.
Step 3: Generate your technical proposal and administrative documents. Export everything, submit on the French buyer's platform, and compete on equal footing with French companies — at a fraction of what a French consultant would charge.
