Sourcing RFP Response

Structured RFP responses → automated scoring → comparable awards. Replace Excel bid-comparison hell with a typed form bidders actually finish — and side-by-side scoring your category team can defend.

The use case

Stop comparing 20 PDFs in Excel. Score bids automatically.

Your strategic sourcing team runs 40 RFPs a year. Each one: send a Word RFP doc to 15 bidders, chase 30 follow-up emails for missing pricing detail, manually re-key every Year-1 total and payment term into a Master Excel for comparison, build a scoring rubric in column AG that breaks every time someone reorders, and present a recommendation 6 weeks after the deadline. The award decision is technically defensible but practically un-auditable.

The Sourcing RFP Response form makes bid collection structured. 20 typed fields across 5 sections — bidder-perspective, with Yes/No conditional branching for no-bid reasons and variance proposals. OCR on attached proposals. Auto-scoring against your weighted criteria. Side-by-side comparison dashboard. From RFP-issued to award-decision in 3 weeks, not 6 — with an audit trail that survives the next public-tender review.

For who

Category Manager
I re-key 20 bidders' Year-1 totals into Excel every RFP. There's a transcription error every time, and I can't prove the award was fair.
Chief Procurement Officer
Strategic sourcing should be a competitive advantage, not 6 weeks of PDF reading per event.
Strategic Sourcing Lead
My scoring rubric is in a column-AG Excel that breaks every time I reorder bidders. We need a real bid management tool.
Internal Audit
I can't reconstruct why a specific bidder won. The decision trail lives in a procurement manager's inbox.

Capabilities

What Sourcing RFP Response actually does.

01Capability

Structured responses, comparable side-by-side

Every bidder fills in the same typed fields in the same order. Year 1 total, payment terms, volume discount thresholds, pricing model — apples to apples across 10, 20, 50 bidders. No more reading 20 PowerPoint decks and re-keying numbers into Excel.

02Capability

Auto-scoring against your weighted criteria

Set the scoring weights once (e.g., 40% price, 30% capability, 20% references, 10% compliance) and Flowie ranks bids automatically. Numeric fields score by rule; narrative fields go to your category team with the LLM Agent's draft summary. Final rankings include the audit trail of every score.

03Capability

OCR + extraction on attached proposals

Technical and commercial PDFs are parsed by Flowie's OCR Agent on submission. Line-item pricing, SLA terms, team composition, and methodology sections are extracted into structured data. Surfaces inconsistencies between the form fields and the attached proposal automatically.

04Capability

Bidder self-service portal

Each bidder gets a private link to their response. They can save drafts, revisit before the deadline, upload supporting docs, and download the RFP attachments — all without an email round trip. Reduces back-and-forth from 12 emails per bidder to 2.
