Your way of working
Your process, not the vendor's
Other bid tools hand you their process. SEQUESTO adapts to yours: your stages, fields, document types and approvals, set up without code. Every person on the bid gets the view that fits their part of the work.

- Every section and owner
- Deadlines and approvals
- Go or no-go notes
From tender pack to submission
The whole bid, not just the answers
Most response tools are built around an answer library. SEQUESTO runs every step of the bid in one workspace: James, SEQUESTO's AI bid agent, does the work, and your team decides.
Before you write
01
Read the tender
James reads the whole tender pack, every document and annex, and lists each requirement, deadline and form the buyer expects.
Requirements and clarifications02
Decide go or no-go
Fit, risks and effort side by side, so the team decides on facts before anyone writes a word.
Analyse and qualifyWhile you write
03
Plan and assign
Sections go to the right people, with owners, due dates and reviews built into your own process.
Collaboration and review04
Draft from your own documents
James drafts from your past bids, policies, CVs and certificates, with no answer library to build first, and shows his sources.
Answer draftingBefore you submit
05
Fill the buyer's forms
Word and PDF forms with tables and tick-boxes, locked Excel sheets and PowerPoint templates, filled in the buyer's own file.
Form filling06
Check, then submit
Before the bid is called complete, James checks each requirement against the final file: compliant, partial, missing or needing clarification. The submission package comes out as one zip.

Governed by design
Every action James takes is on the record
James does far more than write answers: he reads, qualifies, assigns, drafts, fills and checks. Every one of those actions follows your rules and is logged against the bid, so anyone can see what was done, from which documents, and who approved it.
Your region
EU or US, chosen when the account is created. Documents, knowledge and activity records stay there, and the AI runs in the same region.
No training on your data
Your data is never used to train AI models, by SEQUESTO or by the AI providers it uses.
Kept separate
Your data is isolated from other customers' data, and permissions follow your source systems.
Certified
ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited, with the details in the trust centre.
Built for everyone who works on a bid
From the people who write it to the people who sponsor it.

FAQ
Questions bid teams ask first
SEQUESTO aOS™ is the agentic operating system for bid and tender teams. It runs the response to RFPs, tenders, DDQs, PQQs and security questionnaires from intake to submission. James, the AI bid agent, analyses the tender, drafts answers from your approved sources and coordinates the work. Your team reviews and signs off.
Those assistants help one person write. SEQUESTO runs the whole team's response: your workflow, your approved content, the buyer's own file, and a record of who approved what. Every draft answer shows its source.
No. You set up workflows for your own stages, fields and sign-offs, one per bid type or team if you need them. Onboarding covers data upload, configuration and team training.
Your team. James drafts and coordinates. People accept, edit or reject each answer, and the final wording and sign-off stay with them.
