Product 06 · Agentic procurement for construction

PROCURE.AI

From demand to award — intelligently and autonomously.

Construction procurement is complex. Materials and subcontracting packages involve technical specifications, drawings, BoQs, quotations, contractual requirements, supplier histories and project schedules.

PROCURE.AI is Conium AI's agentic procurement solution for contractors and engineering companies. It uses specialized AI agents to automate and support the procurement lifecycle for both materials and subcontracting, while keeping human approval at critical commercial and contractual decision points.

The procurement challenge

RFQs, supplier follow-ups and non-standard quotations consume the procurement team's time.

Procurement teams spend significant time preparing RFQs, following up suppliers, comparing non-standard quotations and identifying commercial and technical risks. PROCURE.AI takes on that work and leaves the decisions with them.

Module 01

Material Procurement

From BoQ demand to purchase order.

PROCURE.AI can identify demand from BoQs, BIM models, project schedules, ERP systems or project-team requests; understand specifications; identify suitable suppliers; prepare and distribute RFQs; track responses; normalize quotations; evaluate alternatives; and support award and purchase-order decisions.

Workflow

  • Identify demand from BoQs, BIM models, schedules, ERP or team requests
  • Understand specifications
  • Identify suitable suppliers
  • Prepare and distribute RFQs
  • Track responses
  • Normalize quotations
  • Evaluate alternatives
  • Support award and purchase-order decisions
Module 02

Subcontracting Procurement

From scope definition to subcontract agreement.

For subcontracting packages, the platform can help define scope, create bidder longlists, prequalify subcontractors, prepare tender packages, manage clarifications, analyze technical and commercial bids, identify exclusions and scope gaps, generate award recommendations and transfer the selected offer into the subcontract agreement workflow.
