CERAP Prévention’s story

Randstad story

In the nuclear industry, every document is critical: RFPs, technical memorandums, and compliance dossiers often exceed 200 pages. At CERAP Prévention, a leader in nuclear engineering and radioprotection, these documents decide which contracts get won, and they are time-consuming to produce.

To streamline this process, CERAP’s engineering teams partnered with Cobl (formerly Thinkeo) to automate parts of their RFP analysis and document preparation, without compromising accuracy or traceability.

Led by Eric Hénon, Director of Subsidiaries and Development, the collaboration began as an experiment to test whether AI agents could help engineers focus on value-added work rather than repetitive document review.

200-Page RFPs and Repetitive Content

Discover the challenge

Every week, CERAP engineers respond to complex RFPs requiring deep analysis of technical and regulatory requirements.

“About 50 to 60 percent of the content is always the same,” explains Eric. “We had to reread everything each time, verify that nothing had changed, and copy-paste carefully. It was repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone.”

Even a small copy-paste error, a missing paragraph, an outdated clause, could jeopardize the entire bid. The goal was clear: reduce manual work while keeping full expert control and auditability.

Choosing Cobl for Precision and Control

While testing several AI tools, Eric discovered Cobl’s AI agent platform.

“I used to spend 3 days analyzing RFP. With Cobl, the analysis and the response are done in a click, I can now focus on what really matters: how CERAP can best respond to the client.”

The RFP is read in full, the answer starts the same day

Our expectations and reason for collaboration

Before Cobl, sensitive RFPs couldn’t be analyzed through public AI tools, forcing teams to print and annotate documents by hand.

“I used to spend three days analyzing a major RFP,” says Eric. “With Cobl, the analysis and synthesis are done automatically, I can now focus on what really matters: how CERAP can best respond to the client.”

On average, what once required 3 full days now takes just 1, a 66% time reduction per RFP, while improving consistency and traceability across projects.

Two days back per RFP, spent on the client

“Cobl lets me concentrate on the client’s real needs instead of highlighting pages for hours,” Eric adds.
