                                         Abstract
                                         We present the research work and the prototype experiments we have conducted with the aim of
                                         providing new AI instruments to support tender management and administrative observatory of public
                                         contracts within the regulatory framework of the public administration sector for the implementation
                                         of public procurement. With this purpose we have studied and tested AI techniques of Relational and
                                         Distributional Semantics, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Information extraction,
                                         Information Filtering,Recommender Systems, etc., to create a ”passport” for economic operators taking
                                         part to a tender for work, services and goods in the field of public procurement applications and for the
                                         analysis of textual documents and automatic extraction of knowledge from different databases.
