Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RFP?
An RFP (Request for Proposal) is a structured process for creating a document used to invite suppliers to propose how they would meet your requirements, including approach, commercials, delivery plan, assumptions, and risks.
What is “RFP as a Service” (RFPaaS)?
RFPaaS provides specialist support to design, run, and award an RFP, optimising the creation, management, and selection process across the full RFP lifecycle.
Where does an RFP differ from an RFI?
An RFI (Request for Information) is typically used earlier to understand the market and available options. An RFP is used when you’re ready to evaluate and select a preferred supplier based on defined requirements and a comparable set of responses.
When should we run an RFI vs go straight to an RFP?
Run an RFI when the scope/market is unclear and you need to shape the shortlist and requirements. Go straight to an RFP when you already know what 'good' looks like and you want suppliers to respond against clear, agreed criteria.
Does this service cover managing the full RFP process end-to-end?
Yes. We can facilitate each stage of the lifecycle, from initial vendor analysis, RFP preparation and launch through to scoring, selection, and award, embedding best practices and streamlining the process.
What parts of the RFP lifecycle can you support?
We can package support around what you need most, including: pre-market research, scoping workshops, producing the RFP and shortlist, launching and moderating the RFP, acting as the interface to the market, facilitating scoring/selection, communicating outcomes, and onboarding the chosen vendor(s) where required.
Do you provide templates and tools, or do you start from scratch each time?
We provide best-practice methods, tools, and templates, and can also give access to a document library to accelerate kick-start engagements.
Does this service cover responding to RFPs?
Whilst this service does primarily focus on supporting a client-run RFP for other vendors to respond to, we can also support clients in responding to RFPs.
