Use cases · Consultancies

Respond to more RFPs without growing the bid team.

Consultancies win on methodology, people and proof — and lose winnable work to capacity. Palmar reads the RFP, finds where the marks are, and drafts your approach, team and case-study sections from past proposals.

The consultancy bottleneck

The pipeline is full; the proposal capacity isn’t. Every RFP wants a tailored methodology, the right team, relevant case studies and a value-for-money case — written against criteria and weightings buried in the document. Done by hand it eats senior time, so good opportunities get a no-bid they didn’t deserve. Palmar moves that work off the critical path.

Surfaces criteria and weightings

Palmar extracts the scored criteria and their weights, so you write to where the marks are — not just to each question in turn.

Drafts methodology from past proposals

Your proven approach, team bios and case studies become an answer library that drafts the new response, grounded and cited.

A compliance matrix in minutes

Every mandatory requirement and submission item tracked in one place, kept current as clarifications and addenda arrive.

Bid/no-bid you can make faster

See the criteria and effort up front, so the decision to pursue — or pass — is made once, with evidence, not relitigated at 11pm.

Questions

Can Palmar help a small consulting team respond to more RFPs?

That’s the point. Most consultancies lose winnable work to capacity, not quality — there are only so many partner-hours for proposals. Palmar does the slow parts: it reads the RFP, extracts the evaluation criteria and their weightings, and drafts methodology, team and case-study sections from your past proposals — so the team edits and approves rather than starting from a blank page.

Does it understand evaluation criteria and weightings?

Yes. Palmar pulls the scored criteria and their weightings out of the document so you can see where the marks actually are — and write to the evaluator, not just to the question. Our guide on how tenders are evaluated explains the scoring models it surfaces.

We reuse methodologies, CVs and case studies constantly — does that carry over?

It’s built for exactly that. Your past proposals become an answer library; new drafts reuse your proven methodology language, team bios and case studies, grounded in the originals and cited — so quality is consistent and nothing is reinvented each bid.
