The experience is smoothest when RFPs are built, exchanged, and graded end-to-end on RFPBench.
When both sides work in one place, nothing gets lost in email threads or version-mismatched spreadsheets. Whether it’s an RFP, an RFI, or a security questionnaire, issuers create and grade, responders draft and submit, and every question, answer, and revision stays connected on a single shared record.
Built together
RFPs created and structured in one shared workspace.
Exchanged live
Issued, answered, and clarified in real time.
Graded in place
Compared and scored on one shared record.
Which side are you on?
I issue RFPs
Create an RFP, RFI, or questionnaire from scratch, from a document, or with AI. Send it to your vendor list, track who has opened and submitted, and compare responses side by side with automated scoring support — instead of juggling replies across email and spreadsheets.
Built for issuers →I respond to RFPs
Turn your past RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires into a searchable knowledge base. AI drafts answers from your own approved content — with a confidence level and sources on every draft — and your team reviews and finalizes each one.
Built for responders →Issue an RFP in three steps
Create
Build your RFP from scratch with drag-and-drop question types, import an existing draft, or describe what you need and let AI draft the structure. You keep full control — add, change, or remove any question, and preview exactly what respondents will see.
Distribute
Add supporting context for vendors, build your recipient list, and send. Recipients who aren’t on RFPBench get an invitation to sign up and complete your RFP inside the platform.
Grade and compare
Responses come back in one unified format. Track who has opened, worked on, and submitted. Review submissions side by side, with automated scoring support to surface the strongest ones faster.
AI you can put in front of an auditor
Follow one answer through the workflow. Approve it, edit it — or flag it, and watch the export gate close.
Drafts, not decisions.
AI accelerates the drafting; your team approves and finalizes every answer. Nothing goes out without a human decision behind it.
Sources on everything.
Every answer shows exactly where it came from — the source file, the section, the original Q&A pair.
No made-up answers.
When your knowledge base doesn’t contain a reliable answer, RFPBench says so plainly instead of inventing one. That behavior is deliberate.
Your data stays yours.
Each company’s documents and answers live in its own workspace, in a tenant-specific knowledge base. Designed for the review, approval, and audit requirements of compliance-conscious teams.
Works with the RFPs you actually receive
RFPs arrive as Excel sheets, Word documents, and Google Docs. RFPBench ingests each one and breaks it into questions. For spreadsheets, it reads the structure and maps which columns hold questions, answers, and references — it picks sensible defaults, and you can adjust the mapping before you confirm.
We’re building RFPBench now
RFPBench is in active development, and the teams that join early will shape it. Founding users get access ahead of general availability, a direct line to the team building the product, and a real say in what we build next.
In return, we ask for one thing: tell us how your RFP process actually works, and where it hurts.
