Tendering Automation App

What is this?

This page provides working instructions for a project specification tendering automation app I made for Core Engineering Inc., a past work term employer (WT3). While working in this position, my supervisor, described an idea he had for streamlining internal processes of his workflow. We did not have time to implement a full solution, so I continued working on this project after leaving this work term.

This app provides a way to streamline project specification development. When releasing a project to the public, a several hundred page document of specifications regarding how each component included in the overall project must be compiled. This app seeks to make this process less taxing on the team building these specifications.

The solution we came up with is to type in project topics, and employ a Natural Language Processing algorithm to intelligently pulls relevant specifications used in prior projects from a SQL database. The app then adds the relevant sections to a draft spec document for export and fine tuning. Alternate interfacing with the app is manually selecting check-boxes of prior used spec sections you would like to export, as shown below.

Components

• Python.

• PyQt5 - UI.

• LDA NLP model to select relevant sections.

• PySQL to manage database of previous specs.
