Preparing a Request for Proposal (RFP)


A clearly written request for proposal – a document inviting vendors to bid on a specific service or product and tell how they can best meet your needs – will save you time and money. Three things you need to know:
  1. Gather information about vendors and develop a short list of three to four. Look at examples of their work, references, experience, reputation, and size of staff.
  2. Ask in your RFP for a vendor's corporate history, financial information, technical capability, product information and estimated completion time.
  3. Specify how your want proposals to be arranged or written so you can more easily compare. For example, you can require the following sections: executive summary, project stages, quality control, proposed schedule, costs and payments.
