GenAI (and especially agents) will reduce the time and effort involved in drafting RFx documents and responses. That said, the biggest constraints in procurement usually sit elsewhere – the bottleneck tends to shift rather than disappear.
Working on my own RFx response and RFx assessment agents started me thinking, that instead of a sequence of documents and meetings (Requirements → RFx → Response → Evaluation → Negotiation → Contract management → Close), procurement starts to behave more like a pipeline, a continuous workflow where structured outputs flow from one stage to the next, and get reused across cycles.
