RFP enquiries
Bring us into your procurement.
Whether you are drafting requirements or the solicitation is already posted, we respond with documentation an evaluation committee can score.
What we provide
Everything the grid asks for. Prepared by the engineers who would deliver the work, so what is promised is what gets built.
Technical response
Architecture, approach and delivery plan written to your statement of work, not adapted from a template.
Compliance matrix
Every mandatory and rated requirement answered line by line, with a reference to the evidence.
Security package
The security brief, audit reports and penetration test summary, under NDA.
AIA and PIA inputs
Model documentation and data flows in the form your assessment teams need.
Phased options
A pilot or discovery phase priced separately, so a decision can be de-risked before full approval.
Named contact
One person who owns the response from first question to submission.

Have a solicitation in hand?
Send it to rfp@ainvento.com. If it is not yet written, a briefing before the requirements are fixed is often the most useful hour of the process.
