Request for Information Generator

Generate a Request for Information (RFI) — project scope, deadline, and submission contact — for gathering general capability information from potential vendors early in a procurement process, before pricing or a formal proposal is on the table. Shares the same document structure as RFP Generator, but is meant for a different, earlier stage of vendor selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use an RFI early — when you want to understand what vendors are capable of and build a shortlist, without yet asking for detailed pricing or a full proposal. Move to RFP Generator once you're ready to invite a shortlist to bid with pricing.

No — it asks vendors to describe their capabilities against your stated scope, not to quote a price. If you need pricing, that's what the RFP stage is for.

The document structure is the same (scope, deadline, evaluation criteria, contact) but the title and intent differ — RFI is explicitly an information-gathering request, not a request to bid.

Yes — that's the standard sequence: RFI to shortlist based on capability, then RFP to that shortlist for detailed proposals and pricing.
