Have your RFP submission checked before it goes out

The highest-risk sections are often the ones that look operational rather than legal. That can include statements about scope, delivery timeframes, staffing, subcontracting, service levels, data handling, security commitments, pricing assumptions, liability positions and acceptance of buyer terms. In some tenders, answers in schedules or portal fields can later be treated as binding promises if you are awarded the work. A legal review helps identify where the submission may be saying more than your business can realistically support, or where the wording needs qualification before it is lodged.

This is a legal review rather than a service for improving sales messaging or bid scoring. We look at the commitments your draft response is making and the legal consequences that may follow if the buyer relies on them. That includes checking whether your wording aligns with the way your business actually delivers services and handles information. Privacy wording works best when it is matched to your real collection, use, storage and disclosure practices. If you need help rewriting the whole submission for style, persuasiveness or procurement strategy, that sits outside this service.

It is often useful for small businesses, consultants, agencies, software providers and service companies that have prepared a response internally and want legal input before submitting it. The service is particularly relevant where the tender asks for compliance statements, data handling commitments, departures from standard terms or detailed service promises. It can also help where a buyer has attached a draft contract and your response interacts with that wording. It is less suitable if you only want help with presentation, graphics or improving the commercial persuasiveness of the bid.

Yes, but that would usually be separate work because the task changes once you move beyond the submission stage. At that point, the focus is often on the draft agreement, schedules, policies, clarification responses and any promises already made in the bid. The legal position also depends on the way the business handles information in practice, so contract-stage advice may require a closer look at your delivery model and internal processes. We can quote for that later stage if you are shortlisted or asked to negotiate the buyer's contract terms.

After the review, you can revise the draft with a clearer sense of which statements should be narrowed, clarified or backed by internal process. In the follow-up discussion, we can help you prioritise the issues that matter most before the deadline, such as broad indemnities, unrealistic service commitments, data handling wording or silent acceptance of buyer terms. Some clients make targeted edits and submit. Others decide they need further legal support because the draft contract or tender conditions are unusually one-sided. Any later negotiation or contract review would be scoped separately.
