RFP response software for tenders and bids

Build each response from a shared library of approved answers, price the schedule in one table and get sign-off before the deadline.

An RFP or tender response is a formal document answering a buyer's questions, criteria and pricing schedule. In QuoteCloud you build it from a response template, drag approved answers and policies from the content library, price the schedule in a price table, route it for approval, then send a link or export a PDF for the buyer's portal.

How to respond to an RFP or tender with QuoteCloud

5 steps, start to signature.

  1. Step 1: Mirror the buyer's structure

    Create a response template with a section for each RFP criterion, in the buyer's order and wording, so evaluators find every answer quickly.

  2. Step 2: Pull in approved content

    Drag your company profile, case studies, policies and CVs from the content library, then tailor each answer to this buyer's requirements.

  3. Step 3: Build the pricing schedule

    Add a price table from your product catalogue with sections, discounts and tax. Internal costs and margins stay hidden from the buyer.

  4. Step 4: Get sign-off before submitting

    Route the response through an approval workflow, for example when the total value is over a threshold, so finance and the bid lead approve it.

  5. Step 5: Submit in the required format

    Send the response as a link the buyer can open and sign, or export a PDF when the buyer requires an upload to their own portal.
