The structured way to run professional services bids.
Altura is the bid management platform for professional services firms. It brings your RFPs, requirements, responses and people into one structured workspace, and makes it easy to pull in the partners and subject matter experts who shape the win, all without losing detail along the way.
"With Altura, we save 16 hours per tender on document analysis and summarisation, that's two full working days. Employees can now use that time for other valuable tasks."
The reality for professional services bid teams today.
Critical detail scattered across tools
Bids depend on input from partners and subject matter experts who are already stretched. Their input arrives late, or not at all.
Heavy reliance on busy experts
Bids depend on input from partners and subject matter experts who are already stretched. Their input arrives late, or not at all.
Every proposal starts from scratch
Without a usable archive, your best past answers stay buried, so each RFP becomes a rewrite rather than a sharper version of the last.
How Altura helps professional services bid teams at every stage of the bid process.
Altura brings every bid workflow into one place, from RFP intake to submission. Your partners and experts contribute in one shared workspace, admin drops away, and each bid becomes knowledge you can reuse on the next one.
Reach a bid/no-bid call on an RFP without chasing stakeholders.
The bid/no-bid call on an RFP usually waits on people who are hard to get hold of. Altura analyses every document against the standards you set, and surfaces the requirements, risks and win factors that decide the bid. Each finding links to the clause it came from, so the call is made on evidence, not a quick skim.
→ Analyses every document in your tender pack.
→ Instantly identifies go/no-go criteria and critical win factors.
→ Maintains full traceability to the source document.
Turn the RFP into a clear requirements list, answers already drafted.
Altura pulls every requirement out of the RFP, categorises it, and weighs each one against your track record, accreditations and past engagements. Draft responses come straight from your own approved content, so your team starts each answer with the right evidence rather than a blank page.
→ Linked source referenced for every requirement.
→ Compliance status with reasoning for every line.
→ Draft responses pulled from your verified Knowledge Library.
Surface critical questions and align your strategy with precision.
Altura scans your tender documents and Bid Books to surface critical gaps, contradictions, and ambiguities early. The platform generates professional clarification questions with clear reasoning based on your specific commercial criteria, and recommends a strategy for each to help strengthen your position. When answers arrive, re-run the affected workflows to update your requirements, risk assessments, and compliance view with the new information.
→ Workflow-driven scanning tailored to your specific bid criteria.
→ Full reasoning and origin provided for every generated question.
→ Recommended strategy attached for every draft question.
Catch the clause that puts the engagement at risk before you commit.
Service contracts carry their own risk: liability caps, indemnities, payment terms, scope creep written into the small print. Altura checks every clause against your risk framework, flags the ones that breach your thresholds, and links each flag to the exact source text. Mitigation suggestions are drawn from how you have handled similar bids before.
→ Risk detection tailored to your specific criteria.
→ Direct links to the exact source clause for every flag.
→ Mitigation suggestions drawn from your past bids.
Every submission requirement on an RFP, tracked from extraction to readiness.
RFPs scatter the submission rules across appendices: required forms, accreditations, declarations, formatting, page and word limits, signatures. Altura extracts each one and, where it can, checks it against your own documents and Knowledge Library. Procedural items are flagged for manual review, and you can re-run the check at any point to see exactly where the submission stands.
→ Every submission requirement extracted and categorised.
→ Clear readiness status with reasoning for each item.
→ Procedural and formatting items flagged for manual verification.
Bid teams carry more responsibility than most firms realise.

Frequently asked questions
Bid management software for professional services gives firms one place to run RFPs and tenders: centralising documents, structuring requirements, drafting responses and tracking compliance. Rather than chasing answers across inboxes, shared drives and old proposals, your team runs every professional services bid from one workspace, where partners and subject matter experts contribute together.
Altura runs the full bid cycle through five connected workflows: Tender Analysis, Requirement Analysis, Clarification Questions, Risk Analysis and Submission Readiness. They work from one shared workspace and stay in sync, so your team moves from RFP intake to submission without switching tools, and every requirement, response and clarification traces back to its source.
Altura's Requirement Analysis workflow drafts responses from your verified Knowledge Library, so your team starts each answer with approved, evidence-backed content and refines rather than writing from scratch. That cuts proposal writing time and keeps your strongest past answers in use across every RFP.
Altura surfaces your best past answers and supporting evidence automatically, so the team leans on the knowledge base first and only pulls in partners and SMEs where their judgement is genuinely needed. Stretched experts spend less time rewriting standard content and more on the parts of the bid that win.
Altura's Tender Analysis workflow reads each RFP against your standards and surfaces requirements, risks and go/no-go criteria quickly, so you can qualify opportunities without waiting on hard-to-reach partners. Your team puts effort into the bids worth winning and walks away from the rest sooner.
