RFP and Proposal Automation for Professional Services & Consulting Teams
Consulting and services organisations compete on expertise, credibility, methodology and delivery assurance – yet much of their proposal work involves repetitive drafting, assembling CVs, tailoring case studies, and managing long compliance sections. Cognaire Respond accelerates proposal creation, strengthens consistency, and ensures every submission reflects your best thinking and your best people.
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.
Consulting teams repeatedly describe their delivery methodology, project governance, risk management, change approach and tooling across every bid. Respond retrieves approved content from your governed corpus and drafts polished, client-ready answers in minutes.
Professional services firms rely heavily on CVs and case studies to demonstrate experience. Respond provides structured CV and case study management with full version history, centralised storage and easy tailoring for each bid.
Large proposal teams often struggle with inconsistent tone and writing style, especially when multiple SME authors contribute. Respond’s language rules enforce consistent voice, structure, terminology and answer style across all sections.
Complex proposals often include requirements for compliance, security, governance, risk management and assurance. Respond drafts complete answers and applies a second LLM quality review to identify gaps, risks, contradictions and missing content.
Reduction in drafting effort for methodologies, approach sections and repeatable proposal content. Clear, reusable content + multi-stage AI = faster turnaround.
Faster completion of CVs, case studies and SME-driven content. Centralised CV/case library + AI tailoring dramatically reduces manual editing.
Saved per major tender or framework submission. SMEs and bid managers spend time refining messaging – not assembling documents.

Bid managers, proposal writers, practice leads and SMEs work together on all types of questionnaires: RFPs, RFQs, capability statements, pre-qualifications, due-diligence packs, vendor assurance forms and government tenders.Import Excel, PDF, Word or portal text and Respond automatically extracts questions and organises them into topics.
Respond uses your curated content – methodologies, artefact templates, delivery frameworks, sector-specific expertise, case studies, CVs, governance models and assurance processes – to draft high-quality, tailored responses.
Multiple service lines and subject matter experts contribute to the same bid without conflict. Assignment, progress tracking and real-time locking ensure smooth collaboration. The My Questions workspace enables SMEs to review content across multiple proposals without navigating between documents.
Leaders track completion, bottlenecks, SME workload and content quality. Respond highlights missing content, corpus gaps and areas needing improvement, enabling continuous optimisation of reusable content.
Consulting firms differentiate themselves through their people and their project history. Respond streamlines the population, tailoring and updating of CVs and case studies to match the opportunity.
