Should you bid on this RFP?

Chasing the wrong RFP costs days you can’t bill. Upload the document and get a straight bid-or-skip read in minutes — where you’re a real fit, the red flags buried in the fine print, the honest effort to respond, and who else is likely applying. If it’s worth it, Pip then drafts every answer from your own documents — scored, with the facts to confirm flagged.

What the check covers

Bid or skip — a clear recommendation, not a vague score.
Fit — how well the request matches what you actually do.
Red flags — incumbent advantages, unrealistic timelines, disqualifying requirements, and one-sided terms.
Effort — how much work a real response takes, so you can price the opportunity cost.
Competition — the kind of shop that typically wins this, and how crowded it looks.

How it works

1. Upload the RFP, grant, or questionnaire (PDF, Word, or text).
2. We parse the requirements and read them against a proposal rubric.
3. You get the bid-or-skip report — free, in minutes.
4. If it’s worth pursuing, Pelican Bid can draft the full response, grounded in your own documents.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes — the bid-or-skip check is free, with no account and no card. You only pay if you decide to generate a full response, and only per response — no subscription.

Do you keep my document?

Your uploaded file isn’t stored — it’s discarded once we’ve read it. We keep only the text we extract (the requirements and your report), so you can continue and reuse your response later.

What kinds of requests work?

RFPs, RFQs, grant applications, security questionnaires, and vendor proposals — anything with structured requirements to respond to.

Worth pursuing? Draft the whole response.

Pelican Bid writes every section from your own documents, scores them, and flags what needs your attention. Pay per response — no subscription.
