    What it is A Request for Proposal is created when the company is interested in partnering with vendors and is open to new approaches and ideas. A Request for Information is created when a company needs a particular solution but is not ready to purchase it yet. A Request for Quotation is created when a company is well-researched and knows exactly what service they want from the vendor.
    When do you need it When you have a complex, unique, or large-scale project and are open to new approaches and ideas. When you are unclear about the project needs but want to explore the solution options. When you have a simple project with clearly defined project needs or solution requirements and are looking for a vendor to fulfill it.

    How To Create RFP?

    Who creates an RFP and how?

    Companies normally create an RFP when they have a project in hand and are in need of a partnership. That is why it is essential to write an RFP that accurately describes the project requirements and clearly specifies the services or solutions desired. Thus, to create an effective RFP, it is recommended to form a team that includes key stakeholders, researchers, proposal writers, experts to review, project managers, and a person in charge to ensure a smooth process.
    An RFP must be attractive, accurate, brief, mentions relevant details of the project, and answers the possible questions of a potential vendor. Here are a few key elements to include in your RFP to ensure a response.

    The quality of your RFP will either help you attract the right vendor or steer them away!

    RFP Template

    What to ask your potential vendors?

    Partnerships help build a company’s reputation. That is why it is imperative to choose your vendors wisely. Following an RFP template can help ask the right questions and gather precise information. Here’s a listing of the top questions to include in your RFP template.
    #1 General questions: Include questions on vendor company structure, location, experience, recognitions, affiliations, licenses, and growth rate in recent years.
    #2 Questions on existing customers: The number of customers, customer retention rate, top customers, and, more particularly, collecting customer references are key information to seek.
    #3 Questions on experience and approach: Questions about project management approach, project strategy or roadmap, system integration capabilities, relevant case studies, reporting and project tracking process, timelines, budget, etc.
    #4 Customer stories: Questions about previous customers, their project tracking methods, how they managed customer complaints and feedback, and their customer support system.
    #5 Questions on risk management: Include questions to understand their regulatory compliance process, legal issues or complaints, if any, and technology reliability and scalability ratio.
    #6 Questions on data security: Frame questions to clearly understand your vendor’s backup and data recovery policy, data access limits, downtime experienced, if any. Also, ensure that the vendors are SOC-compliant and ISO certified.
    #7 Sustainability, diversity, and inclusion: Ask questions to ensure your partnership will not derail your ongoing sustainability, diversity, and inclusion commitment & efforts.
    #8 Onboarding and contract: Finally, seek information on client onboarding and contract procedures to ensure the partnership commences smoothly.

    With RFP vs without RFP

    What if I choose not to create an RFP?

    Although an RFP process helps you identify the right vendor for a project, some companies avoid RFPs anticipating a lengthy vendor selection procedure. Also, sometimes the project isn’t complex or unique and can be easily solved by a preferred vendor. In such cases, the project leaders conduct the research organically and identify a vendor that best caters to the project needs. Let’s analyze further to know when to go with and without an RFP!
