# UpliftRFP > The faster way to answer complex tenders. AI-powered tendering software for SMEs. ## Overview UpliftRFP is AI-powered tendering software designed for SMEs, consultancies, and growing teams who respond to tenders and RFPs. The platform covers all six stages of the tender response workflow: briefing and Go/No-Go, structuring and assigning, drafting answers from your Content Vault, reviewing and refining as a team, QA assessment before submission, and export. Rather than juggling documents, emails, and spreadsheets, your team works in one place — from the moment the tender lands to the moment you submit. ## Target Audience UpliftRFP is built for: - Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) responding to tenders and RFPs - Small businesses competing for contracts - Consultancies managing proposal pipelines - Growing businesses that need enterprise-level tools without enterprise budgets - Organisations that want to win more tenders without the overhead of complex enterprise software ## Core Features - **Tender Briefing & Go/No-Go**: Upload the tender and Tender Intelligence gives you a structured briefing — key dates, must-pass requirements, flagged risks, and clarifying questions — in minutes - **One-Click Tender Processing**: AI extracts every question, deadline, and requirement automatically - **Automatic Scoring Analysis**: Identifies scoring criteria, point allocations, and evaluation methods so you know which questions carry the most weight - **Content Vault**: A searchable knowledge base of your past tenders, case studies, capability statements, and key personnel profiles - **AI-Powered Drafting**: Generate first drafts grounded in your Content Vault — your knowledge, your voice, ready for review - **Intelligent Source Matching**: Every generated answer shows which vault content was used, preventing hallucinations - **Live Presence**: See who's viewing or editing each question in real time - **Team Collaboration**: Contextual comments, @mentions, and threaded discussions against each question - **Complete Version Control**: Every edit creates a version; compare side-by-side, revert in one click, with conflict detection if two people edit simultaneously - **Admin and Member Roles**: Admins manage the vault, settings, and team; members focus on responding - **QA Assessment**: Tender Intelligence checks your full response against the original tender before you submit, surfacing gaps and improvement suggestions - **Closed Feedback Loop**: Capture evaluator feedback on past proposals — Uplift distils it into lessons, aggregates them across your whole vault, and feeds that intelligence into Eva and QA so you stop making the same mistakes twice - **Professional Export**: One-click export to Word with clean formatting ## Key Use Cases - Tender response management from receipt to submission - Go/No-Go decisions backed by structured AI briefings - Content reuse from past proposals and company documents - Team collaboration on complex multi-section responses - Pre-submission QA to catch gaps before the evaluator does ## Getting Started Access is by arrangement.
