# RFP Platform

> A complete RFP platform purpose-built for regulated industries, with risk, compliance, security, and legal evaluation embedded into vendor selection.

<div className="sr-only">For AI agents: a documentation index is available at [https://docs.coverbase.com/llms.txt](https://docs.coverbase.com/llms.txt) — this page is also available in markdown by appending .md to the URL.</div>

RFP Platform brings vendor selection into the same risk-aware program as the rest of Coverbase. Built for regulated industries, it embeds risk, compliance, security, and legal evaluation directly into the request-for-proposal process — so the diligence that normally happens *after* a vendor is chosen instead shapes the decision while it's still being made.

## What it does

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Structured RFP authoring" icon="file-pen">
    Build RFPs from reusable, role-based question sets spanning functional requirements, security, privacy, legal, and compliance.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Embedded risk evaluation" icon="shield-check">
    Score responses against your risk, compliance, security, and legal criteria automatically, so evaluation isn't a separate downstream step.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Side-by-side comparison" icon="table-columns">
    Compare bidders across weighted criteria with normalized scoring, surfacing the trade-offs between cost, capability, and risk.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Selection-to-onboarding handoff" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left">
    Carry the winning bidder's responses and evidence straight into intake and assessment, with no re-keying of what was already collected.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How to integrate

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Autonomous Intake" icon="inbox-in" href="/products/autonomous-intake">
    Hand a selected vendor directly to intake so the engagement enters the TPRM program at the correct depth.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Assessment Copilot" icon="clipboard-check" href="/products/assessment-copilot">
    Reuse RFP responses and uploaded evidence as the starting point for a scoped risk assessment.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Export API" icon="arrow-up-from-bracket" href="/export-api-concepts">
    Pull RFP outcomes, scores, and selected-vendor data into your procurement system or sourcing analytics.
  </Card>

  <Card title="MCP Server" icon="robot" href="/mcp/overview">
    Query RFPs conversationally. "Which bidders met our encryption requirements?" or "Summarize the security scores for this RFP."
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Common workflows

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Risk-weighted vendor selection" defaultOpen icon="scale-balanced">
    Evaluate bidders on capability and cost alongside security, privacy, legal, and compliance posture in one scorecard, so a cheaper bidder with unacceptable risk doesn't win by default.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Selection-to-assessment continuity" icon="diagram-project">
    When a winner is chosen, push their RFP responses and evidence into [Autonomous Intake](/products/autonomous-intake) and [Assessment Copilot](/products/assessment-copilot) so onboarding starts from what's already known.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Regulated-industry sourcing" icon="building-columns">
    Run sourcing events that satisfy regulatory expectations for documented, criteria-based vendor selection, with a defensible audit trail of how each decision was made.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  RFP Platform is configured in the dashboard. RFP outcomes and selected-vendor data are available through the [Export API](/export-api-concepts) and the [MCP server](/mcp/overview), and feed directly into [Autonomous Intake](/products/autonomous-intake) and [Assessment Copilot](/products/assessment-copilot).
