Overview

Loopio is a Toronto-based bid response platform founded in 2014. It is the most established Tier 1 RFP response tool, built around a curated content library (the Library), an intake module for incoming RFPs, projects for managing live bids, and a magic-fill engine for first-draft answers. For Irish SMEs the proposition is governance over a deep, expert-reviewed library: every answer carries an owner, a review cadence, and a freshness state. Pricing is quote-only and typically lands in the USD 18,000 to USD 60,000 per year band for SME and mid-market teams; pricing is in USD with no published EUR option, so add a 10 to 15 percent currency buffer when forecasting renewal in EUR. Hosting is primarily in North America (AWS us-east-1 and ca-central-1); EU data residency is not the default and is not publicly documented as an option. Loopio publishes a Data Processing Agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers and is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, which satisfies most Irish enterprise procurement security questionnaires. Irish support is not staffed locally; the Toronto and London offices provide European business-hours coverage. The Data Protection Commission has issued no decisions naming Loopio. Pricing in USD.

Editor's verdict on Loopio

stamped 2026-05-28

Loopio is the default choice for Irish SMEs with an established bid-management process and a content library that has outgrown a shared drive. The Library governance model (owners, expiry, expert review) is the strongest in the category and the magic-fill engine produces credible first drafts when the library is well-curated. The trade-offs are real for Irish buyers: pricing is USD-denominated and quote-only, EU data residency is not the default, and implementation needs two to four weeks of bid-team time. If your bid team responds to fewer than one tender per month, Loopio is over-specified; if you respond to three or more per month with a stable library, Loopio is the safest Tier 1 pick.
