The problem

Bid and proposal teams know that 60–80% of any new proposal is content they've written before, in some form, in some past document. But finding it, reusing it, and stitching it together is the slowest part of the work — and competitors are submitting first.

The solution

We build a system that reads your historical proposals, RFP responses, and case studies, then produces a strong first draft tailored to a new RFP. Your experts review and refine rather than writing from scratch.

The platform does more than generate text. It analyses tender requirements, retrieves relevant content from previous submissions, identifies supporting evidence, suggests win themes and helps teams produce stronger first drafts with significantly less manual effort.

This approach underpins one of our flagship AI platforms, helping bid teams analyse tenders, retrieve relevant knowledge, generate first drafts and improve submission quality at scale.

Workflow

From Tender Pack to First Draft

How the platform takes a freshly uploaded tender and turns it into a structured, evidenced first draft ready for expert review.

  • Upload tender

    RFP, ITT or framework pack ingested securely

  • AI analysis

    Structure, scoring criteria and mandatory clauses extracted

  • Knowledge retrieval

    Past responses, case studies and evidence surfaced

  • Requirement mapping

    Each requirement matched to content and owners

  • Draft generation

    Section-by-section first draft with citations

  • Expert review

    Bid leads, SMEs and reviewers collaborate in-platform

  • Submission ready

    Compliance checked, formatted and signed off

Typical platform capabilities

What a production-grade AI proposal platform looks like once it is built, deployed and in daily use by a bid team.

Requirement Analysis

Automatically identifies and structures tender requirements so nothing slips through.

Knowledge Retrieval

Finds relevant answers, case studies and supporting evidence from your historical content.

Draft Generation

Creates tailored first drafts using your tone, structure and historical proposal content.

Compliance Tracking

Tracks coverage against every tender requirement and flags gaps before submission.

Win Theme Suggestions

Highlights differentiators and proposal themes most likely to resonate with the buyer.

Review & Collaboration

Supports SME review, version control and sign-off before the submission goes out.

The outcome

Proposal turnaround drops from weeks to days. Win-rate trends up because submissions are stronger and on time. Senior bid people get their evenings back.

Faster turnaround

From weeks to days for first drafts, freeing capacity for higher-value bids.

Better knowledge reuse

Past wins, case studies and SME content become a living, searchable asset.

Consistent submissions

Tone, structure and approved messaging stay consistent across teams and bids.

Less manual searching

No more hunting across SharePoint, drives and old proposals to find the right paragraph.

Focus on strategy

Bid leads spend their time on win themes and reviewer feedback, not administration.

Improved win rate

Stronger, more compliant submissions delivered on time, every time.

Production AI

From Prototype to Production

Many organisations can demonstrate proposal generation using AI. The challenge is building a secure, reliable and maintainable system that integrates with real business processes.

We help organisations design, deploy, host and support AI-powered proposal solutions that operate successfully in production — not just in demos.
