Frequently asked
What does the tender response template include?
Every standard section a winning bid needs, in order, with a line of guidance under each: cover letter, executive summary, company overview, understanding of the requirement, methodology, team and CVs, relevant experience, compliance, pricing, assumptions and exclusions, and declarations. Replace the guidance with your content.
Should I use this structure or the buyer’s?
Always follow the buyer’s structure and numbering where the tender specifies one — evaluators score against their own layout. This template is the sensible default for when they don’t, and a checklist for the sections you’ll usually need either way.
Can Palmar write these sections for me?
Yes. Rather than starting from a blank template, Palmar reads the tender pack and drafts each section from your past bids, grounded and cited — so you edit and approve instead of writing from scratch. The template is the manual fallback; the product is the fast path.
Or skip the blank template entirely.
The template is the manual way. Palmar reads your actual tender pack and produces this for you — every requirement extracted, each section drafted from your past bids — from $99/mo, cancel anytime.
