One record for every bid.

From five places to one record

Most bids run out of five places at once.

A tracker per division, a folder of spreadsheets, an AI chat per person and a thread of approvals. This is what moves into the bid record.

  1. TodaySomeone pastes the RFP into an AI chat and shares a summary.

    In ClearRFPThe whole package is read once. Every finding keeps its page.

  2. TodayRequirements live in a spreadsheet that nobody owns.

    In ClearRFPEvery requirement turns into work with an owner and a due date.

  3. TodayAn addendum arrives and the team re-reads everything.

    In ClearRFPYou see which requirements and tasks the addendum changed.

  4. TodayLeadership signs, trusting that someone checked.

    In ClearRFPThe open conditions are in front of the person who signs.

  5. TodayProof of submission sits in one person’s inbox.

    In ClearRFPThe release approval and the receipt stay with the bid.

For the person who signs

Director / VP / COO

Before you commit the company, three questions need answers. ClearRFP brings the evidence for each one to the decision, so you are not signing on trust.

  • Profitable?

    The terms that move the margin: a 5% bid bond on p.14, a 100% performance bond and $1,500 a day in liquidated damages on p.42.

    Financial fit57

  • Legal?

    Every compliance and legal requirement with its source and its reviewer. The liquidated damages clause on p.42 goes to Legal; the missing addenda acknowledgment on p.03 is flagged.

  • Within capacity?

    The schedule against the capacity and geography your team recorded. Here, a 45-day window from procurement to mobilization.

    Schedule feasibility64

Here is what you would open on the sample bid. The recommendation is a draft; the call, and the reasons for it, are recorded by your people.

For the person who runs the bid

Bid Manager

Run the bid from one list instead of chasing it across inboxes and trackers.

  • Requirements become tasks with an owner and a due date.
  • Key dates come out of the RFP: the questions deadline, the site visit, the due date.
  • Questions for the issuer stay open until they are answered.
  • An addendum shows which tasks it changes before anyone re-reads the package.
  • Forms, signatures and bonds are checked against the current package before release.
  • Deadlines reach the team’s inbox and calendar.

Equipment lead-time evidence

For specialists

Legal, Finance and Operations review what they own.

Each review lands with the person qualified to give it, next to the source, and is recorded against the requirement.

  • Legal

    Gets the liquidated damages clause on p.42 with the text around it, and records the review against it.

  • Finance

    Works the pricing. Pricing and financial details are visible only to the roles allowed to see them.

  • Operations

    Confirms the 45-day mobilization plan and the equipment lead-time evidence the addendum changed.

What goes in, what comes out

Start with the RFP. Add your company when you are ready.

What you bring

  • The RFP package: PDF, DOCX, XLSX or CSV, scanned pages included.
  • Addenda, as they arrive.
  • Optional: your capabilities, geography, capacity, risk preferences and references. Without them, ClearRFP reviews the RFP on its own terms. With them, it scores fit for your company.

What you get

  • A compliance matrix you can export to Excel.
  • A decision review you can export to Word.
  • Owned work with due dates.
  • A recorded Go/No-Go with its rationale.
  • The release approval and the submission receipt.
  • Pipeline and workload reports across your bids.

What it doesn’t do

Some calls stay with your people.

  • It doesn’t decide whether you bid. It recommends; a person records the call.
  • It doesn’t submit. Your submission owner sends the response and records the receipt.
  • It isn’t legal advice. Legal reviews the clauses it surfaces.
  • It doesn’t approve pricing. Your authorized reviewers do.
  • It doesn’t promise more wins or saved hours. Measure that on your own bids.
