Guess the L1: mock-bid live Karnataka tenders and get scored

Bid on a live tender for free, and find out how close you were.

The Arena is a pricing game on real tenders. Pick a live Karnataka tender, enter the discount you would quote, and when KPPP publishes the L1 you are scored on how close you came. A leaderboard ranks everyone who played that tender.

How it works

Choose any live tender and enter your bid as a percentage above or below the estimate.
Bids are sealed while the tender is live: nobody, including you, sees other bids until the result is in.
When the evaluation result names L1, every mock bid is scored: full marks inside the credible band around the winning bid, fewer the further you were.
Your standing bid rides on the tender page as a badge, and your record builds a profile of how you price against the market.

Why play

Pricing is the skill that wins tenders, and the only way to practise it was to lose real ones. The Arena gives you the real tender, the real result and a score, without the EMD.
