Marches Du Senegal

What Marches Du Senegal does

Marchés du Sénégal is a SaaS-based public procurement intelligence platform headquartered in Dakar that aggregates real-time tender opportunities from 50+ official Senegalese and international sources (ARMP, DCMP, AGEROUTE, SENELEC, World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, AfDB and others) into a unified database of 52,216+ public markets. The platform serves Senegalese small and medium enterprises, larger established companies, and consulting firms seeking to discover, analyze, and bid on public contracts, addressing the fragmentation of tender information across scattered government and international sources. Core features include real-time aggregation, semantic search, AI-powered tender analysis and ARMP-compliant bid generation, a predictive Success Simulator, and a live Early Detection module that forecasts projects 3-6 months ahead of publication.

Underlying technology combines a continuous data-collection pipeline over official and alternative sources with AI text processing for requirement extraction, summarization, document drafting, and probability estimation trained on the platform's proprietary historical dataset. The architecture is supported by MongoDB Atlas for data storage, Google OAuth for authentication, and exposes REST/GraphQL APIs with webhooks for developer integration. AI capabilities span predictive analytics, generative drafting, semantic knowledge retrieval, process automation, and optimization (contract value estimation).

The business model is freemium SaaS: a Free tier provides 5 tenders per month, a Pro subscription at 99,000 CFA/month (≈ USD 165) unlocks unlimited access, AI tools, and alerts (email and WhatsApp), and an Enterprise tier adds AI Bid Generator, Tender Watcher, and priority support. Nine add-on strategic modules (Bid Toolkit, Contract Estimator, Proposal Generator, AI Bid Generator, Benchmark Analytics, Spending Radar, Training Academy, API Access) create upsell architecture. Distribution is fully self-serve online, with payments processed via Wave mobile money. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and led by founder Khadime Diakhate, with no disclosed institutional funding to date.
