NEW YORK - Feb 9, 2026 - Bidara, a proposal management software designed for small and medium-sized businesses, has been named a top proposal software solution in a 2026 industry comparison of 30 RFP tools.
The recognition highlights Bidara's speed. According to platform data from over 70 proposals generated on the platform, the median time for users to create a complete multi-section proposal is under five minutes, compared to the hours or days required by traditional methods.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Bidara performs a strategic analysis of your business and the RFP before writing begins. The platform runs a SWOT analysis for each opportunity, identifies hidden requirements not explicitly stated in the RFP, predicts likely competitors with counter-positioning strategies, matches company qualifications against RFP requirements for an automated go/no-go recommendation, and estimates cost ranges with detailed breakdowns. After generation, an automated review scores the proposal across seven dimensions including compliance, competitiveness, and risk mitigation.
The 2026 comparison noted that Bidara "actually generates long-form narrative proposals fast" and "avoids a lot of the legacy baggage you see in older RFP platforms." Reviewers described the platform as a "credible new wave AI proposal tool" built in the post-ChatGPT era.
"Most proposal tools are just a document library with AI bolted on," said Alexander Georges, founder of Bidara. "We designed Bidara so you upload your past proposals once, upload an RFP, and then get a complete response ready for review in minutes. Small and medium-sized teams should not have to spend weeks on a single proposal when the technology exists to do it. Every proposal Bidara generates is grounded in your actual past work, not generic templates."
Bidara works in three steps:
- Users upload existing company documents such as: past proposals, capability statements, and case studies. The AI uses these to populate its knowledge base of your company.
- Users upload any RFP in PDF, Word, or Excel format. The AI extracts every question, requirement, and deadline automatically.
- The platform generates complete proposal responses section by section, matching relevant past performance to each requirement.
Each generated proposal is unique to the opportunity. The platform allocates evidence strategically across sections to prevent repetition, weights section depth by evaluation criteria, and ensures compliance requirements are addressed before submission. The result is a proposal that reads as if a senior proposal manager wrote it, not a generic AI output.
The platform is designed for small and medium-sized businesses, consultants, government contractors, and professional services firms responding to government RFPs, commercial bids, and security questionnaires. Bidara offers transparent pricing with a 14-day free trial requiring no credit card.
