Pharma & Life Sciences
Pharma and life sciences RFPs and questionnaires.
Clinical services RFPs and quality questionnaires, answered from approved content. A sponsor RFP, a vendor qualification questionnaire or a hospital tender: every answer has to match what quality, medical and legal have approved, in every country. James, SEQUESTO's AI bid agent, drafts only from your approved content, sends each answer to the reviewers who own it, in the order your process requires, and fills the sponsor's or buyer's own file.
Who this is forProposal and bid managers at CROs, CDMOs, pharma, biotech and medtech companies, and the business development, quality, medical affairs and legal colleagues who review.
The Challenge
Why life sciences proposals wait on review
Every answer has an owner
Quality owns the GCP and GMP answers, medical affairs the therapeutic experience, legal the contract terms. Each review is a separate e-mail chain, and the proposal waits for the slowest.
Approved content drifts
The SOP list, the audit history and the therapeutic area experience change every quarter. The answer copied from last year's proposal quotes last year's numbers.
The sponsor's templates
Budget grids, vendor qualification questionnaires and hospital tender forms arrive in the buyer's own Excel and Word files, and are filled by hand.
How it works
Approved content in, reviewed answers out
01
Read the RFP or tender
James reads the protocol synopsis, the scope of work or the tender pack and lists countries, sites, timelines, deliverables and award criteria for your bid/no-bid decision.
Analyse & qualify
02
Draft only from approved content
Limit James to your current SOPs, quality manual, past proposals and approved capability statements. He shows the source on every answer and marks "Needs review" where there is none.
Guardrails
03
Review in your order
Quality, medical affairs and legal see only the answers assigned to them, in the order your review process sets. Every approval is recorded.
Collaborate & review
04
The sponsor's file, filled and checked
James fills the questionnaire or tender forms in place and checks every requirement before the proposal is called complete. Pricing stays with business development, in its own folder.

Worked example
How James handles a phase II study RFP
A CRO receives an RFP from a biotech sponsor for a phase II oncology study across several European countries: a protocol synopsis, a vendor qualification questionnaire in Excel, CV requests for the project lead and medical monitor, and a budget grid. James summarises scope, countries and timelines for the go/no-go meeting. He drafts the questionnaire answers from the quality manual, SOP index and past proposals, and marks those without a source "Needs review". Quality reviews its answers, medical affairs the therapeutic experience section, legal the contract terms. James tailors the CVs, fills the sponsor's workbook, and the coverage check flags any question where the source does not cover the period the sponsor asks for, such as inspection history.
