Frequently Asked Questions

An RFP asks shortlisted vendors for a full proposal INCLUDING their approach and pricing — use it once you're ready to select a vendor, not to browse the market.

No — the tool includes a fixed generic checklist (technical capability, cost, timeline, past experience). Edit the generated document to add or reweight criteria specific to your actual selection process.

Typically after — many procurement processes issue an RFI first to shortlist vendors, then send this more detailed RFP only to the shortlisted candidates.

Describe what you need clearly enough that vendors can price it accurately — objectives, deliverables, constraints, and any technical requirements. The more specific this is, the more comparable the proposals you'll get back.
