A whole bid desk, for a small team.
You don't need a bid department to win tenders — you need the reading, compliance and drafting done properly. Palmar gives a small business the muscle of a full bid desk, on public pricing, with no bid team required.
The small-team squeeze
For a small firm, a tender lands on someone who already has a day job. Reading a long pack, tracking every mandatory requirement, and writing on the criteria — all after hours, against a deadline. So winnable bids get a reluctant no-bid, or a rushed one. Palmar removes the reason to walk away: it does the heavy lifting, on pricing you can see, starting the same day.
One person, a complete response
Palmar reads the pack, builds the matrix and drafts each section from your past bids — so a single owner can finish a compliant response.
Public pricing, no bid team needed
From $99/mo, monthly or yearly, cancel anytime — no implementation project, no annual lock-in, no discovery call.
Compete on the offer, not the headcount
Thorough reading, a live compliance matrix and cited drafts give a small team the rigour bigger bidders get from a full desk.
A readiness check before you submit
Gaps and unmet mandatories flagged as a verdict — the safety net a small team usually doesn’t have time to build by hand.

Questions
Is there RFP or tender software for small businesses without a bid team?
Yes — that’s who Palmar is built for. You don’t need a bid department: upload the RFP or tender pack and Palmar does the reading, builds the compliance matrix and drafts each section from your past bids, so one person can produce a complete, compliant response. Pricing is public from $99/mo, with no implementation project and no annual lock-in.
Can a small firm really compete with bigger bidders this way?
Bigger firms win partly because they have the people to read the pack carefully, track every requirement and reuse strong past answers. Palmar gives a small team that same muscle — thorough reading, a live compliance matrix and cited drafts from your own work — so you compete on the quality of your offer, not the size of your bid desk.
How quickly can we start, and what does it cost?
Same day. There’s no onboarding project: sign up, upload a pack, and start. Pricing is public — from $99/mo to $999/mo, monthly or yearly, cancel anytime — so you can judge it on your next tender without a sales call or a year-long commitment.
Try it on your next tender.
Upload your next pack and watch Palmar build the compliance matrix, draft from your past bids and flag the gaps — from $99/mo, cancel anytime. Or see the annotated sample output first.
