FEATURES AND DESIGN (PROTOTYPE)

The tool is still under development; however, first prototype is ready soon. We can use it to pilot economical impacts of public tenderings with different end-users.

On the results page, the user can see the commodities that match the search parameters. The user can simply select the category of commodities they are interested in. In addition, the user will also be able to see the search results for all categories. This allows for a versatile research experience.

The commodities page allows organizations and companies to add their products and services to the tool database. Every commodity should include a detailed description that is used to filter the results for searches made by officials looking for products and services for public tenders.

The user can view the impact per municipality on the map. This is done by clicking on the highlighted municipality to open a content box that will show more details about this impact. The goal is to create a simple UI for the user for an easier comparison of the different commodities.
