How teams use Contor

Screen more RFPs. Submit more winning proposals.

A planning and environmental consultancy fields a steady stream of RFPs, and every bid decision means hours of partner time reading the scope, matching past projects, and weighing the competition. Contor’s RFP Responder turns each one into a cited go or no-go, with the requirements scored and the gaps flagged, so they pursue more of the work they can win and stop sinking time into bids they would lose. It also drafts the proposal, so the same team can submit more bids.
