How to Build A Quality RFP

Both the suppliers and the project team may be evaluated on the success of the RFP, so make sure clear goals and measurement criteria are established up front. This includes criteria for the suppliers, measurable results for the implemented solution, and goals for the RFP process itself.

The RFP process should have a defined budget and time line, and should be treated like any other mission-critical project. You will need a project manager who can handle internal and external resources equally, as well.
