The system may analyse the collected reviews and select the winner of the tender based on reviews collected. By option, the system can also hide bidders' information such names at a certain level of analysis/analysts depending on the materiality and available resources.

Data transfer in a secure processing environment is provided. A digital assistant can receive audio input detected by a microphone of a computing device. The digital assistant can determine, based on the audio input, to invoke a third-party application associated with the computing device. The digital assistant can generate, responsive to the determination to invoke the third-party application, a packaged data object. The digital assistant can forward, to the third-party application invoked by the digital assistant component to execute in a secure processing environment on the computing device, the packaged data object. The third-party application can transmit, responsive to a digital component request triggered in the third-party application, the packaged data object to a digital component selector to execute a real-time selection process based on the packaged data object.
