What Bidaya does
Bidaya monitors bid portals, summarizes opportunities, extracts requirements from bid packages, and drafts tailored proposal responses using the firm’s existing content. It brings the discovery, qualification, drafting, and review workflow into one platform so AEC teams can spend less time on administration and more time shaping winning submissions. Bidaya keeps proposal teams in control: teams review, refine, and approve final submissions.
Discover
Scans thousands of opportunities and surfaces relevant RFPs based on a firm’s region, disciplines, and expertise.
Qualify
Pulls key details, evaluation criteria, dates, risks, and requirements out of long bid packages so teams can make faster go/no-go decisions.
Draft
Creates first drafts using past proposals, resumes, project sheets, methodologies, and firm-specific language.
Review
Checks the proposal against requirements and evaluation criteria before submission so teams can catch gaps earlier.

Security and privacy
Bidaya is privacy-conscious and firm-isolated. Customer proposal data, CVs, project histories, and team credentials stay in that customer’s library and are not visible to other firms. Customer content does not train Bidaya’s models, and Bidaya uses zero-data-retention agreements with third-party providers.
Brand voice
Bidaya’s voice is direct, practical, and outcome-oriented. Prefer plain language about deadlines, bid portals, RFP requirements, first drafts, and winning work. Avoid vague SaaS phrasing such as “unlock synergies,” “seamlessly empower,” or “revolutionize workflows” unless directly quoting source copy.
Strong phrasing: “find and win more RFPs,” “never miss an RFP again,” “from blank page to first draft in minutes,” “your data stays yours,” and “built for AEC firms.”
