Technical proposals that answer the scoring, not a template.
Carabela reads the award criteria, decides what deserves the space and writes the technical proposal from what your company can evidence. You review and sign.
The technical proposal is the part of the bid that takes the most time and decides the most points. It is nearly always written against the clock, starting from the last one, with the specifications open in another tab and the person who knows the project best busy delivering it. The result is usually a long document that says what the company wanted to say, not what the contracting body is going to score.
Carabela works the other way round. Before writing a line, it extracts the award criteria and the split of points from the specifications and builds a strategy for the tender: what the contracting body really values, what evidence your company can provide, which strengths to bring forward and which weaknesses to manage. On that strategy it writes the proposal, section by section, from your company's real documentation and capabilities. It is the stage you will see in the whole system under the name Compose.
Nothing in the proposal is invented. Carabela checks every claim against the information available about your company and avoids committing to capabilities that cannot be backed up. Before handing it over, it reviews the draft against the specifications and the scoring, corrects what loses points and checks the length limits. What you receive is a complete, coherent draft your team can review with judgement, not a blank page. How the process changes when an AI that has read the specifications does the writing is explained in this guide.
What Carabela does with the technical proposal.
Strategy before drafting
It works out how the points are split and what the contracting body really values. It decides which sections should get more space and attention, what evidence to include and how to structure the proposal so that it is easy to evaluate. The aim is not to generate text but to prepare a competitive bid within the criteria that have been set.
Contents and document structure
It proposes the table of contents and the distribution of content according to the award criteria and their weighting, so that each section answers a specific criterion and the evaluator finds what they are looking for where they expect to find it.
Drafting from your real company
It writes the methodology, the work plan, the team and organisation, the schedules, the technical resources, the quality processes, the implementation plans, the risk management, the monitoring indicators and the improvements and commitments, from your company's documentation and the experience it can evidence.
Tables, schedules and structured content
It turns into tables and schedules whatever reads better that way, and keeps the sections consistent with each other: the team in the organisation chart is the one that delivers the work plan, and the dates in the schedule are the ones the methodology commits to.
Review against the specifications and the scoring
Before handing it over, it scores its own draft against the criteria, rewrites what loses points, checks consistency with the price offer and the administrative documentation, and verifies page limits, formats and mandatory annexes.
From the specifications to the proposal, in four steps.
The same sequence the system follows on any tender.
- 01
It reads the specifications
The PCAP, the PPT and their annexes become structured requirements: what is mandatory, what earns points, what format each section requires and what length limits apply. Anything that needs your confirmation is flagged before anything is written.
- 02
It sets the strategy
With the scoring in front of it, it decides where to concentrate the effort: which criteria carry the most weight, which of your company's evidence covers them, which commitments are reasonable and how to order the proposal so that it is easy to evaluate.
- 03
It drafts
It writes the proposal section by section from your company's real documentation, in parallel with the administrative documentation and the pricing study, and cross-referenced with them so that all three parts of the bid tell the same story.
- 04
It reviews and hands over
It scores the draft against the scoring scheme, corrects what costs points, checks length and annexes, and hands you a complete, traceable proposal. Your team reviews it, adjusts what only it knows, and signs.
Who it is for.
Any company that submits bids with a technical evaluation, with or without a bid team.
- Companies that lose weeks of team time on every proposal and still cut it fine on the deadline.
- Companies that reuse the last proposal because there is no time to answer the new specifications.
- Technical teams that know how to deliver the project but not how the points are split in a scoring scheme.
- Tender departments that would rather review complete drafts than write from scratch.
- Companies that need the proposal, the price and the administrative documentation to be consistent with one another.
Your company signs the proposal.
Carabela drafts and reviews, but the proposal commits your company, which is why the decisions that define it can wait for your approval: which commitments and improvements go in, which resources are assigned, what final price goes with the proposal and whether it is submitted. You can validate specific commitments before they go into the proposal or review the whole document at the end. The degree of autonomy is configured for each company, and the submit gate can always be held for your signature.
Frequently asked questions about technical proposals.
Can Carabela prepare the whole technical proposal?
Yes. Carabela can structure, draft and review the technical proposal according to the tender's criteria and your company's real information: contents, methodology, work plan, team, schedules, resources, quality, risks, indicators and improvements. Your team reviews the draft and adds what only it knows.
Where does it get the information about my company?
From the picture it builds of your organisation: what it sells, which projects it has delivered, what experience it can evidence, what team, resources and certifications it has. It can start with partial information and fill in the rest over time. Carabela does not invent capabilities that information does not support.
Is it the same as pasting the specifications into a general-purpose AI model?
No. A general model can help draft a paragraph, but it does not know your company or how the tender is scored. Carabela brings together your company's context, the analysis of the specifications, the award criteria and the review against the scoring in one system, and learns from every result.
Does it review the proposal before submission?
Yes. Before submission, Carabela reviews the bid as a whole to catch unanswered requirements, contradictions between the proposal, the price offer and the administrative documentation, page limits exceeded, unsupported information and award criteria that are not properly covered.
Does a good proposal guarantee a win?
No. No company can guarantee that a contracting body will award a particular contract. What Carabela aims for is a proposal that answers what is being evaluated, holds together and does not lose points to avoidable mistakes. The final decision rests with the contracting body and depends on the bids submitted.
