# Public RFP Response Agent

A custom agent finds relevant public bids, checks qualification fit, and prepares a first response from prior proposals.

TL;DR

- Monitors public RFP boards and collects opportunities relevant to the consulting company.
- Checks service alignment, mandatory qualifications, deadlines, and bid requirements before drafting.
- Uses approved material from previous responses to prepare a grounded first draft.
- Starts a guided response workflow that asks owners for missing information and the next action.

## [Use Case](#use-case)

A consulting company needed to monitor fragmented public RFP boards, identify bids related to its services, and decide which opportunities justified proposal effort before deadlines approached.

Public opportunities appeared across multiple procurement sources and schedules. Proposal owners needed a consistent way to review requirements, assess fit, and focus their limited response effort on the strongest opportunities.

## [Solution](#solution)

For this delivery, we built a custom agent that monitors public bid sources, extracts requirements and deadlines, evaluates qualification fit, retrieves approved material from prior responses, and prepares a grounded first draft.

The consulting team gained one workflow from opportunity discovery through qualification and drafting while retaining human control over go or no-go decisions, final content, and submission.

### [Architecture](#solution-architecture)

The workflow connects public procurement sources to an opportunity monitor, qualification and evidence retrieval, grounded drafting, and a final owner-controlled review and submission step.

**Public bid boards** Approved public procurement sources provide newly published opportunities, requirements, and deadlines.

**Opportunity monitor** The agent monitors approved sources and organizes each new opportunity for review.

**Qualification & evidence** Qualification rules test fit while approved prior responses provide reusable evidence.

**Draft response** The agent assembles a requirement-aligned first response using only approved evidence.

**Human review** Proposal owners supply missing inputs and retain control of final review and submission.

### [How it works](#how-it-works)

The agent monitors approved public bid sources, captures newly published RFPs, and organizes their scope, deadlines, issuing authority, and submission requirements.

It compares each opportunity with the company’s services, experience, credentials, geography, and response constraints. For qualified bids, it retrieves relevant language and project examples from approved prior responses to assemble a grounded first draft.

The workflow identifies missing information, asks the responsible owners for decisions or inputs, and tracks the next action. People retain control over the go or no-go decision, final review, and submission.
