The RFP - request for proposal is a core work process in most (all?) procurement organizations. The goal of any RFP should be for the procurement organization to achieve the highest quality responses from the most qualified suppliers. If handled well, the RFP process should make all vendors feel they were treated fairly, respectfully, and that makes them want to submit high quality responses, both for this RFP as well as future offerings.
We believe that a hasty RFP process will almost always result in fewer, and lower quality responses.
Determine your evaluation criteria up front. Minimize or eliminate "change orders." We believe in providing complete transparency to vendors - if they understand your timing, and criteria for selection, you will get better, higher quality bids - better RFPs. Eliminate or disregard "boilerplate" in their responses - focus on the specifics and let your own procurement organization handle the core contractual specifications.
