Inputs, outputs and safeguards
Accepts
- Tender text you are permitted to use
- Your evidence: contracts, CVs, letters
Produces
- Go, hold or no-go decision sheet
- Compliance matrix with clause references
- Reviewed response
Fails safely
- Hard eligibility failure stops the workflow with the reason.
- Requirements without evidence are flagged, never papered over.
- Unmatched clauses go to manual review.
Where a person decidesThe client decides whether to bid and submits. A principal reviews every draft; nothing is submitted automatically.
Run parts of it yourself.
These free tools are the working steps of this workflow.
Bid/no-bid decision matrix
Test an opportunity against the eligibility rules that cannot be negotiated, then score it on eight weighted criteria. A hard eligibility failure overrides any score, and the weakest criteria tell you what evidence to find before you commit.
Open the tool Free toolRFP compliance matrix template
Paste the tender text you are permitted to use. The builder finds every “shall”, “must” and “should” requirement, keeps its clause reference and position in the text, and lays out a compliance matrix with owner and evidence columns.
