Request for Proposal
Simplifies the selection of IT providers and finding the best tech partners using structured RFP processes.
Workflow Steps
Step 1 - Draft & Approve RFP Document
A cross-functional project team collaborates to create a detailed RFP document outlining the project scope, technical and business requirements, and evaluation criteria. The document is then approved internally.
Step 2 - Vendor Distribution & Q&A
The approved RFP is sent to a list of pre-qualified vendors. A specific period is provided for vendors to ask clarifying questions, with all answers distributed to all participating vendors.
Step 3 - Proposal Evaluation & Scoring
After the submission deadline, a selection committee uses a pre-defined scorecard to score each proposal against the evaluation criteria.
Step 4 - Finalist Demos & Selection
The top 2-3 scoring vendors are invited to give live demonstrations. The committee then makes a final selection and proceeds to contract negotiations with the chosen vendor.
