Why now

Costs moved for five years. Your contracts planned for it.

Contract prices hold for three to five years by design. The rebate, indexation and penalty clauses negotiated at award anticipated exactly this. The gap that opens is not a pricing failure; it is an entitlement waiting to be exercised.

Your contracts already contain the lever. Indexation clauses negotiated at award are the one lawful post-award repricing channel in public procurement.

Article 72, Directive 2014/24/EU. Price revision under a clear, precise and unequivocal review clause is not a renegotiation. It is the contract working as written.

The mechanism

Ingest. Identify. Monitor. Recover.

One continuous system, from the signed PDF to the attributed euro. Each stage feeds the next; nothing customer-facing moves without a named owner's sign-off.

01.[  Module ]
Portfolio Ingestion Engine

Reads your contract estate exactly as it exists: signed PDFs, scans, framework agreements and award documents across 100-plus jurisdictions and more than 50 languages. No migration, no re-papering, no data-cleaning project. Ingestion runs at portfolio scale, so time to value is measured in weeks rather than quarters.

Output: Unified Clause Register
Upload signed contracts, amendments and award documentation directly. Polaris structures each document for clause analysis without altering the source file, preserving a verifiable link to the original.
Connect existing document stores and shared drives. New and amended contracts flow into the register automatically, keeping coverage current without manual forwarding.
  • Awarded terms imported directly from Tender AI
  • Tender-award context preserved into performance
  • Multi-lot awards mapped to their contracts
  • Framework call-offs tracked against parent terms
  • Built on 40M+ decoded tender and contract records

Clause Extraction Engine

Agentic NLP reads the register and extracts every clause that carries money: rebates, indexations and penalties, each with its trigger index, adjustment frequency, cap and activation date. Classification is three-valued — Explicit, None, or Ambiguous — never a binary guess. Every entry traces back to document, section and page.

Output: Monitored Clause Register
Clause Extraction by Polaris OS
  • Trigger index and reference series captured
  • Adjustment frequency and caps recorded
  • Activation dates and notice periods extracted
  • Page-level traceability to source text
  • Enters the monitored register automatically
Ambiguous drafting is routed to named reviewers rather than resolved by the model. Your team audits the engine's work faster than it could ever read the estate itself; nothing enters the register without a source reference it can verify.
Contracts with no protection are flagged as renewal-negotiation targets. A single pass yields both a recovery list and a renegotiation calendar for the next cycle.

Trigger Intelligence Engine

Watches published indices and contractual dates continuously across 100-plus jurisdictions, each with its own index, trigger and deadline. Activation windows are flagged before they lapse rather than discovered at audit. Teams stop maintaining spreadsheets and start working from a calendar the portfolio sets itself.

Output: Activation Windows, flagged in time

Trigger Intelligence by Polaris OS
  • Eurostat HICP and national consumer-price series
  • Producer-price indices where clauses reference them
  • Sector and composite index formulas per clause
  • New prints matched to affected contracts
  • Jurisdiction-correct index selection, automatically
Every activation window, notice period and adjustment date is tracked against the calendar. Approaching windows surface to owners with time to act; lapsed entitlements stop being something the audit finds first.
Each market's procurement rules apply to each clause, from Article 72 review-clause conditions to markets where price revision applies automatically. The register reflects what is exercisable, where, and on what legal basis.

Recovery Orchestration Engine

Converts triggers into a financialised, prioritised action list routed to named owners. Every customer-facing action is human-validated before it moves, and every recovered euro is attributed to the clause that produced it. Outcomes feed back into pricing, so the next award is set correctly from day one.

Output: Adjustment actioned, value attributed
Recovery Orchestration by Polaris OS
Each open window arrives priced: the clause, the index movement, the adjustment value and the deadline, ranked by recoverable amount. Owners see what an action is worth before they spend an hour on it.
Nothing reaches a customer without sign-off from a named owner. Validation is structural rather than a settings toggle, and each approval carries the clause text, the index print and the legal basis for the conversation.
  • Every recovered euro traced to its source clause
  • Line-item attribution end to end
  • Audit trail a controller can verify
  • Recovery outcomes fed back into bid pricing
  • Board-ready reporting by market and portfolio

    The Clause Monitoring outcome

    The margin was never lost in negotiation. It was negotiated, won, and left uncollected. Not new revenue — revenue you are already owed.

    FAQ

    Clause Monitoring operates across 100-plus jurisdictions, with contract ingestion in more than 50 languages, including scanned documents. Polaris tracks each jurisdiction's applicable indices and procurement rules, from Eurostat HICP and national consumer-price series to producer-price and sector indices, so every clause is monitored against the index and legal basis it actually references. Coverage follows the platform's footprint of 40M+ decoded tender and contract records across 100-plus countries and expands on a rolling basis.
    No, and it is not designed to. Your existing suite manages the document: it tells you what is inside the contract. Clause Monitoring watches what happens outside it — the index prints, regulatory triggers and re-tender windows that make a signed clause worth money. The two are complementary: keep your current systems, and add the revenue-assurance layer they were never built to be. No contract-management vendor holds tender-award context, which is why Polaris is the only platform closing the tender-to-contract loop.
    The engine never guesses. Classification is three-valued: Explicit, None, or Ambiguous. Ambiguous drafting routes to your reviewers rather than being resolved by the model, and every extracted clause carries a reference to its document, section and page, so your team verifies the engine's work rather than taking its word. Nothing customer-facing happens without human validation; that control is structural, not a configuration option. In production at a leading global MedTech company, the underlying platform validated greater than 95% match accuracy (internal program data).
    Because ingestion runs at portfolio scale with no migration, time to value is measured in weeks. At a leading global MedTech company with roughly 45,000 monitored contracts, the business case models $87M, $174M and $261M in recoverable margin at capture rates of 1%, 2% and 3%, deliberately below the 8.6–11% erosion benchmarks published by WorldCC with Deloitte (2023) and WorldCC with Ironclad (2026). The business case projects ROI turning positive within 90 days.
