If you are running a formal process, send it here. We will tell you whether we are bidding, and if we are not, why.
Most of what firms of our size do with an RFP is answer it slowly and hope. We would rather be useful or be out of the way. Send us the document and the constraints around it, and you will get a decision on whether we are responding, along with the honest version of what we would and would not take on. A firm that bids for everything is telling you something about how it chooses work.
The document itself, whatever form it is in, along with the things that usually sit outside it: who the evaluators are and what they are measuring, which incumbents or internal teams are also being considered, what the system has to integrate with, and which reviews it has to pass before anything reaches production. If there is a submission format we have to follow, say so at the start, because it changes how we write rather than what we say.
No proposal leaves this firm without both the person who would lead the delivery and the person who owns the commercial relationship putting their name to it, or a founding partner standing in for either. That is a constraint we hold internally, and it is the reason a proposal from us is slower to arrive and harder to argue with. Scope, effort, architecture and risk are written by the people who would do the work, not by a bid team who hand it over afterwards.
We decline more often than we bid. The usual reasons are that the requirement describes a system whose correct behaviour has not been defined precisely enough to test, that the evaluation is priced on headcount rather than outcome, or that we cannot staff it with senior people without displacing an existing client. You will get the reason rather than silence, and where another firm is the better answer we will say so.
The form below starts the conversation and reaches the same people. The document itself goes to the address below, named with your organization in the subject, and it is read alongside whatever you write here. We do not accept uploads through this site, which is deliberate: procurement documents are usually confidential and belong in your mail trail rather than in a web form.

A few lines are enough to start. Everything sent here goes straight to the founders.
A founder reads every message and will reply to you directly.
This is not a vendor registration portal and there is no supplier database to join. We hold no standing pre-qualification, publish no rate card, and do not respond to requests for pricing with no described system behind them. If your process requires a vendor to be listed before it can receive a document, tell us early, because that is a gate we may not be able to pass.
If the process has not started yet and you would rather talk before writing a document, that conversation is usually the cheaper one.
