Why we can be this precise

Thousands of RFPs.
We’ve seen yours.

Hundreds of clients across virtually every industry. There’s no requirement we haven’t drafted, no compliance matrix we haven’t built, no deadline we haven’t navigated.

When we quote your tier, we know exactly how many hours your bid will take.

That’s how we charge a flat rate without flinching. The math isn’t a guess — we’ve already done it thousands of times.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about pricing.

Q01
How does The Bid Lab's pricing work?

We charge flat rates based on bid complexity — Essential ($3,500), Standard ($6,000), or Enterprise ($9,000+). There are no hourly fees and no surprises. Final price is confirmed after a free consultation.

Q02
What determines which pricing tier I need?

Tier is determined by the complexity of the RFP itself — number of sections and attachments, technical depth, evaluation criteria, and stakes. A village sign-repair bid is a different animal than a federal DoT contract, and the price reflects that. The service we deliver is the same across all tiers. We confirm the exact tier during your free consultation — usually scheduled within 24 hours.

Q03
What is included in each package?

Every engagement includes the same full-service team and deliverables: a dedicated project manager, a named writer and consultant, eligibility assessment, full requirement extraction and compliance matrix, proposal writing, design and formatting, two-sets-of-eyes review, on-time submission, and a post-award debrief. The tier reflects the bid itself — sections, technical depth, evaluation criteria, stakes — not the level of service.

Q04
Can I get a quote before booking a consultation?

Yes. Book a free consultation and we'll review your RFP and confirm your exact fixed rate before any work begins. Consultations are usually scheduled within 24 hours.

Q05
Do you offer subscriptions or ongoing retainers?

We price per bid on a flat-rate basis. For clients with high bid volume, we discuss volume arrangements during consultation. Contact us to explore what structure works best for your pipeline.
