RFP and Compliance Questionnaire Automation for Engineering & Infrastructure Teams

Major bids in engineering, construction and infrastructure depend on detailed technical responses, safety evidence, certifications and project histories. Cognaire Respond helps teams reuse governed documents, CVs and case studies to generate precise, complete answers faster, while keeping knowledge consistent and auditable across large bid programs

Built for the way engineering and construction firms bid and prove capability

Answers you can trust, built for your workflow

Cognaire Respond combines knowledge automation, semantic search, and real-time reasoning to ensure every question is answered accurately and aligned with your unique content and compliance guidelines.

Keep responses aligned with current methodologies and delivery models

With a structured, version-controlled corpus, answers stay in sync with your latest standards, design practices, digital engineering tools and delivery methodologies. No more outdated content hiding in old folders or spreadsheets.

Reuse certifications, standards compliance and project histories with confidence

From ISO certifications and safety accreditations to design standards and environmental approvals, Respond centralises the documents that underpin your credibility. It then uses them to generate tailored responses for each project, while preserving full version history and governance.

Stop rebuilding technical and safety answers from scratch for every bid

Complex tenders ask the same questions about design methods, construction techniques, quality systems, safety processes, risk management and stakeholder engagement. Respond retrieves this content from your structured corpus and drafts accurate answers in minutes so your engineers and HSE specialists can focus on higher value work.

How engineering, construction and infrastructure teams use Respond day-to-day

CVs and project case studies for capability-led bids

For capability statements and EOI-style submissions, Respond helps you assemble the right CVs and case studies for each opportunity, while keeping a governed, searchable library of people and projects. This avoids last minute scramble for profiles and project descriptions across shared drives.

Analytics that give bid leaders visibility and control

Track completion, bottlenecks, SME workload, risk levels and answer quality. See where each response stands, which sections need more input, and where improving underlying content will have the biggest impact on future bids.

Collaboration that matches how design, construction and HSE teams actually work

Engineering, construction, HSE, environment, commercial and legal teams can work in parallel on the same questionnaire without chaos. Assignment, status tracking and history make it easy to see what is done, what is in progress and what needs attention. The My Questions workspace lets SMEs across multiple bids review their sections efficiently.

AI-drafted answers from your best technical and project content

Respond uses your approved technical documents, safety procedures, quality manuals, environmental plans, project histories and methodologies to draft high quality, professional answers. Output is clear, consistent and ready for expert review, grounded only in your governed corpus.

One workspace for every tender, framework and qualification

Manage RFPs, RFQs, pre-qualifications, safety questionnaires, design and construct tenders, PPP documentation and major framework bids in a single workflow. Import Excel, Word, PDFs or portal extracts, organise questions into topics and assign them to the right owners in a few clicks.

Answers you can trust, built for your workflow

Cognaire Respond combines knowledge automation, semantic search, and real-time reasoning to ensure every question is answered accurately and aligned with your unique content and compliance guidelines.

Step 1: Import

Import your RFPs and questionnaires

Upload Excel, CSV or unstructured tender content. Cognaire Respond detects questions, groups them into topics such as design, construction methodology, safety, environment or commercial, and prepares them for answering. AI-based extraction handles complex, semi-structured documents from portals and PDFs.

Step 2: Draft

Draft high quality, technical AI answers using your curated content

Choose which corpus content sets to use and provide simple guidance about what to emphasise, such as safety, design innovation or local delivery capability. Respond retrieves the right knowledge and drafts answers tailored to each question using its retrieval augmented multi-stage pipeline and language rules.

Step 3: Complete

Collaborate, refine and export

Assign owners, track progress and review quality. SMEs refine technical detail where required and use completeness and risk scores to focus on the answers that matter most. Export the finished responses, CVs and case studies to Excel or Word in the format your client or government portal expects.
