Modules and capabilities

Modules and capabilities for your operation.

Review what you can discover, evaluate, decide, coordinate, reuse, prepare, submit and follow up. Each area explains its actions and conditions, with real screens where available.

Mercado Público and your company

From opportunity to contract, with your team's work documented.

Mercado Público provides search, recommendations, bidding and tracking of official actions. Masnet connects demand to your company's catalog and criteria, and links market review to internal decisions, owners, documents and commitments. This management supports your company's control and governance.

On Mercado Público

The agency's process

  • Terms, annexes and clarifications
  • Closing, opening and award dates
  • Q&A forum
  • Receipt of bids

Evaluate Masnet through the work you need to do

Discover and evaluate an opportunity

Start with filters and Predictivas. Open the lines, read the terms and ask KIM questions. Check the references before deciding.

Coordinate and prepare a bid

Record the decision, assign tasks and request specific approvals. Reuse products and files, review prices and signatures, and submit through the extension and your valid session.

Maintain follow-up after an award

Review the result and its evidence. Link the contract and purchase orders, record milestones and obligations, and track guarantees and expiry dates.

Stages, modules and features: how they relate

The five stages describe work, not five modules. Tenders brings together search, participation and Ofertar (bid preparation). Drive, Portfolio, KIM, Guarantees and Contracts provide specialized areas, while Calendar and Reminders help track dates.

For example: Portfolio is a module, Product catalog is a submodule, and editing a product or simulating its price are features.

Organization

Management states

What are we reviewing, and how do we find each opportunity?

Organize your work list with favorites, following, flags, tags and folders. Business lines group opportunities in a company activity. These management signals are distinct from the official status published in Mercado Público.

What it does

  • Star and follow a tender to retrieve it from its views
  • Set a priority flag: urgent, high, normal, low or deferred
  • Create and assign tags to classify work by your own criteria
  • Move opportunities into folders such as Por revisar (To review) and access them from the index
  • Associate a tender with your company's business lines
  • Archive or discard from your work list. These actions do not delete the official publication
  • Views by participation, owners and next action to review recorded work
Evaluation

KIM Tenders

What exactly do the terms require?

KIM answers questions about a tender with references and excerpts so you can review the basis of each answer, with document and page where available. When the question calls for it, it checks against the Public Procurement Law, its regulations and the CENABAST and ISP guidelines. Conversations are saved in the tender. Publish them to the team view (Equipo) when other people need to review them.

What it does

  • Supporting references and excerpts, with document and page where available
  • Public procurement regulations and CENABAST and ISP guidelines, with validity checked Partial. Selected corpus. It does not cover all sector regulations.
  • Questions in natural language about the tender and its documents
  • Consultation limited to one document when you choose it
  • Conversations saved per tender, with favorites and export
  • KIM Agent: one action starts the template questions in sequence, with progress per question and the option to stop
  • Your company's templates with library or custom questions, reusable across tenders
  • Question order and criticality to retain your review method without writing and sending each query again
  • Requirements of the terms ordered by consequence, with available references Partial. In Mercado Público attachments, and not yet covering every family of requirements.
Evaluation and follow-up · Dates

Criteria and dates

How will we be evaluated, and when does each stage close?

The tender record shows evaluation criteria and their weighting, process dates and official changes. Check those sources before organizing your company's commitments in Calendar.

What it does

  • Criteria with name, description and weighting
  • Process dates: publication, questions, answers, closing, opening and award
  • Public process change history, separate from your company's internal activity
  • Official question and answer forum for consultation. Official questions are posted in Mercado Público. Discussion coordinates your team within Masnet
Management

Participation and team

Who decided to go, why, and who does what?

Each tender has its decision, its next action and its conversation. Approvals are requested and answered right there. Accepting a request does not sign a document or universally block submission.

What it does

  • Participate, decline or defer (GO, NO-GO or Defer), with reasoning, risks, expected margin and history
  • Next action with owners and due date
  • Private or shared task lists
  • Discussion per tender, with replies, mentions and attachments
  • Approvals with reviewers, a one, any or all policy, and a deadline, with notice by email or Telegram
  • Internal chat, email with templates and personal notes
  • Availability signals and shared context to coordinate a query, with invisible mode. Being connected does not establish responsibility or task progress
  • Audio recording and transcription in notes, documents, discussions and chat
  • Tender activity with author and date: reconstruct recorded events and retrieve the reasoning behind decisions
Date follow-up

Calendar and reminders

What is due, and which work should we return to?

Consult official milestones alongside internal dates, team deadlines and your personal reminders. Switch between month, week and agenda, then open an event to return to its tender, task or document.

What it does

  • Month, Week and Agenda views, with filters by origin and event type
  • Official process dates separated from the team's internal commitments
  • Deadlines for next actions, checklists and documents, with their owner and context where applicable
  • Personal reminders with title, message, date and available channels
  • Reminder inbox to consult status and edit saved reminders
  • Reading a notice is distinct from fulfilling the task or commitment
  • Overview of pending approvals, upcoming agenda, reminders and guarantees to open work requiring attention
Across stages · Document management

Documents and Drive

Who is responsible for this document, and what remains to be reviewed?

Drive is Masnet's document management workspace. It brings company files together and connects them with tenders, chat and email according to their origin and permissions. Open a file to read it, assign owners, keep tasks and track deadlines alongside the document.

What it does

  • AI detection of fillable fields on the visible page. Review detected elements and their values before using the document
  • File owners and document deadlines, with reminder options and contextual tasks
  • Anchors, comments and tasks with an owner on the document
  • Viewer for PDF, Word, Excel, images and text
  • Versions and activity of each file
  • Insert text, tables, images and signature fields, or draw over pages. Layers are composed into the resulting PDF while preserving the original document
  • Simple electronic signature (FES), with additional identity verification. Check whether the terms accept that signature type. It is not an advanced electronic signature (FEA)
  • Drive with folders, trash and files from chat and email
  • Share with people or roles, create public links and send by email or Telegram, according to the document's origin, permissions and options
  • Local working folder to organize annexes and copies by tender. Requires a supported browser and folder permission. A local copy does not establish server storage or official submission
Preparation · Signature

FES signatures

Who needs to sign, and what remains before the signed document is ready?

Prepare signature fields, assign signers and request a simple electronic signature from the document. The Signatures inbox brings together documents you need to sign, completed signatures and requests you sent, so you can track their status and retrieve the signed PDF.

What it does

  • Signature fields placed on pages, with signers and required fields
  • Identity and signer capacity reviewed before requesting a signature
  • Consent and additional identity verification during signing
  • Pending, Completed and Sent inboxes, with progress per document
  • Signed document and PDF available to retrieve and review
  • FES means simple electronic signature. Check that the terms or document accept it before requesting it
Preparation and submission

Bids

Was the bid submitted?

The bid is prepared in the tender and submitted with your company's Mercado Público session, through Masnet Gateway. Preparation stops before publication: review and confirm submission. Afterwards, Masnet compares what was published with what you prepared.

What it does

  • Submission with your own Mercado Público session, with recovery points
  • Operational validation: lines with prices, document changes, legal representative and duplicates. Does not fully check the terms, tasks or every approval
  • Economic bid per line, with products from your catalog
  • Attached documents and sworn statement
  • Verification against the portal and Masnet PDF backup with sealed annexes. Masnet's backup is not issued by ChileCompra
  • Withdrawal and new submission while the process is open
Preparation

Bid guarantees

What bid guarantee is required, and which instrument covers it?

Review the bid security required by the terms before participating. Distinguish the public requirement from the instrument your company records, and track its amount, validity, document and status. Performance guarantees and portfolio exposure have their own section.

What it does

  • Published requirement, amount and period the instrument must cover
  • Bid instrument with issuer, currency, amount, validity and evidence
  • Link between requirement and instrument, with coverage review
  • Status, expiry and history during preparation. A draft does not prove bank issuance
Follow-up

Awards and contracts

What were we awarded, and what is still to be delivered?

Manage the lifecycle of awards and contracts: from reviewing public Mercado Público evidence to tracking purchase orders, deliveries, acceptance, invoicing and closure. Masnet relates potential awards to your company's verified tax ID. An indirect purchase order reference requires confirmation before activating the contract.

What it does

  • Awards recognized by your company's verified tax ID
  • Contract with execution model, amounts and validity
  • Awarded lines with quantity and price
  • Confirmed purchase orders, with amounts separated by currency
  • Record and track signing, delivery, acceptance, invoicing and payment milestones, with dates, states and documents provided. Recording a milestone does not prove financial execution or a collected amount
  • Obligations, amendments, incidents, fines and claims
Follow-up · Risk

Performance guarantees and risk

What exposure remains, and which guarantees need renewal or recovery?

After an award, track performance guarantees and other execution purposes. Bring together validity dates, issuers, credit lines and requirement coverage to assess company exposure and anticipate expiry, renewal and release.

What it does

  • Performance, advance payment, retention and labor obligation guarantees, separate from bid guarantees
  • Linked instrument and requirement, with amount, currency, validity and evidence
  • Current exposure, issuer concentration and coverage gaps at the stated valuation time
  • Credit lines: drawn, reserved, available and excess in each agreement's unit
  • Expiry, renewal, return and release with their states and documents
  • Called guarantees and amounts owed to issuers. Masnet records and tracks instruments without issuing guarantees or deciding credit
Across stages · Portfolio

Portfolio, catalog and pricing

How do I prepare a catalog that helps find opportunities and quote?

Turn commercial records into reusable information. Masnet uses AI to propose generic names and product attributes. Your team reviews and confirms them. Define pricing rules and check how they apply to the buyer, tender type and territory before preparing a bid.

What it does

  • Catalog with internal code, brand, attributes, UNSPSC category and regions, as a basis for Predictivas and line-by-line bids
  • Hierarchical product groups to organize and query your commercial offering
  • Masnet uses AI to generate generic description proposals from your records, individually or in batches. Review the name, attributes and candidate. Accept, edit or discard. Each confirmation is recorded
  • Fixed prices, discounts and surcharges by product, buyer or buyer group, tender type, region or zone, with currency and validity. The simulator shows the base, the most specific applicable adjustment and the final price
  • Contextual quotes per line: can fill an unpriced line when the quote applies and its currency matches. Existing amounts are preserved. Your team reviews the breakdown and confirms the price
  • A record for each buying agency, with segment, tags and notes
  • Buyer groups to organize your market and its commercial conditions
  • Business lines with members and owners. Confirming a generic description does not establish compliance with each tender's specifications
Cross-cutting tool

Email, templates and KIM Writing

How do I prepare a clear communication and retain its follow-up?

Compose the message in Masnet, reuse a template or ask for writing assistance. Review KIM's proposal before applying it and consult your sent history and available replies.

What it does

  • Draft, improve, correct spelling, summarize and suggest a subject
  • Adjust length and tone, compare proposals and apply to the draft
  • Assistance in the template editor, with its variables
  • Adaptation to limited facts from a linked tender record
  • Enabled recipients, attachments and records of sends and available replies
Cross-cutting tool

Team chat

How do we coordinate a question without losing its context?

Talk with people in your company while you work. Share a code or file to orient the conversation. Keep tender agreements in Discussion, tasks or decisions when they need to remain in its record.

What it does

  • Internal conversations with people and team groups
  • Messages, replies and files in supported surfaces
  • Original audio and a reviewable transcript
  • Conversation windows you can move, resize or collapse while retaining your work
  • Presence and invisible mode to coordinate a question. Progress is checked in the task or decision
Cross-cutting · Ideas and context

Notes and voice

How do I retrieve an idea and where it came from?

Open Notes from the footer to retrieve your notes, filter them by origin and return to where they arose. Keep a floating note or link an observation to a tender, a PDF or a saved KIM answer. Retain text and voice, with the original audio and a reviewable transcript.

What it does

  • Notes module in the footer: list, search, origin filters and floating personal notes
  • Contextual notes linked to tenders, PDFs and saved KIM answers
  • Audio recording and reviewable transcription in supported notes
  • Audio and transcription also in supported chat, Discussion and document comments
  • Notes are private. Use Discussion, tasks or decisions to share an agreement
Working tools

KIM and checklist views

How do I analyze and make progress without changing context at every step?

Arrange KIM and tasks around the work you are doing. Consult the assistant alongside the tender and keep a shared checklist visible while reviewing line items or documents.

What it does

  • KIM docked into the tender detail panel or in an independent window
  • Floating checklist to consult and work on tasks alongside another view
  • Checklist docked into the side panel, with owners, dates and progress visible
  • Checklist access from KIM to keep analysis alongside recorded work
Cross-cutting Mercado Público connection

Masnet Gateway

How do I connect my portal session to my company's work?

Masnet Gateway is a Chromium browser extension for connecting your Mercado Público session to Masnet. Install it from Chrome Web Store, which you can also use from Microsoft Edge. It lets you consult the portal, check the supplier and prepare bid operations from your workspace, with progress tracking and result verification.

What it does

  • Supplier profile capture and selection of the active organization in your session
  • Live reading of the tender sheet and attachments, with comparison against the portal
  • Synchronization of your bids and consultation of their statuses and receipts
  • Product and document preparation with progress and recovery points
  • Separate preparation and publication: review and confirm before official submission
  • Your portal session stays in the browser. The extension does not ask for your password or share session cookies and tokens with the Masnet application
  • Connection to the supplier's real session Partial. Requires a compatible Chromium browser, the installed extension, an active session and permissions. Queries and operations depend on portal availability and supported capabilities.

Shared foundation

Access and shared foundation

Who can see and change what?

Every area shares the same people, permissions and records of your company.

What it does

  • Company members, invitations, roles and permissions
  • Company signatories before Mercado Público
  • Sign-in with passkeys or TOTP
  • Team changes visible without reloading the page
  • Drafts and views kept when you reload
  • The company's use of AI: models, budgets and policies
  • Keyboard access to switch tools and return to open tabs through the command palette
Scope

What Masnet does not do

So you know what to expect before you sign up.

  • It does not calculate the probability of winning a tender.
  • It does not certify that a bid meets the terms: KIM helps you read them and the review is your team's.
  • It does not submit bids on its own: they are submitted with your Mercado Público session.
  • It does not submit bids from temporary supplier consortia.
  • It does not issue guarantees: the bank or the insurer issues them.
  • It does not offer advanced electronic signature. The signature available is simple.
  • It does not replace Mercado Público: the official process and its acts remain there.
  • It does not invoice, keep accounts or collect payments: it is not an ERP.
