Submit stronger bids by identifying risk, ambiguity, and pricing exposure in ITT and RFI documents.
Assessing ITT and RFI documents properly requires senior technical and architectural judgement.
In practice, that expertise is rarely available during bid preparation, with senior IT resources focused on delivery, governance, or live programmes.
The bid teams are left to interpret complex technical requirements under tight deadlines and with limited specialist input.
The result is predictable:
TAP exists because this capability gap consistently appears at the worst possible moment.
TAP applies structured technical assurance to ITT and RFI documentation from a supplier perspective, focusing on where requirements, assumptions, and obligations introduce technical or commercial risk.
It is designed for situations where bid timelines are tight and senior technical input is limited, providing an independent, objective view of risk before commitments are made.
TAP focuses on:
TAP enables informed technical bid and no-bid decisions, creating more robust and defensible responses.
TAP Standard is the core engagement for applying TAP to a live procurement. It provides a concise, decision-focused technical assurance output that can be used immediately within an active bid.
A TAP Standard assessment provides:
The TAP Standard assurance output is delivered within 48 hours of document submission.
TAP is delivered by Promarc, an independent technology consultancy specialising in technical assurance across complex, regulated environments.
Promarc supports organisations operating at scale, where architecture, delivery, and commercial decisions are closely coupled and subject to scrutiny. This includes environments where technical assumptions made during procurement can have long-term operational, financial, and regulatory consequences.
Our work is grounded in established engineering principles, architectural standards, and delivery best practice. We focus on clarity, traceability, and defensibility, ensuring technical decisions can be understood, justified, and sustained beyond contract award.
The TAP framework reflects direct experience of responding to and delivering against large-scale IT procurements, where ambiguity, missing information, and unvalidated assumptions routinely introduce avoidable risk.
Promarc operates independently of software vendors and system integrators, ensuring assurance is objective, standards-led, and focused solely on technical and delivery risk.
