JEFF BALACEK Assistant Solutions Manager, EO Johnson
How Does An RFP Differ From an RFI and RFQ?
A Request for Proposal is a formal process for soliciting vendor responses and/or bids based on specific requirements and timelines. An RFP is sometimes confused with a Request for Information (RFI) which is often a preliminary step to gather data. A Request for Quote (RFQ) also differs in that it’s typically used when you know which products or services you need.
Questions to Help You Determine Whether You Need a Technology Purchase Consultant
Can you afford to take employees away from their daily tasks to work on evaluating new technology
Do you have someone who’s experienced in authoring and managing RFPs?
Is someone able to lead the project and keep it on track?
Can they manage RFP grading and communications?
Do you have the technology and tools to aid your technology purchase project?
If you answered “no” to any of these questions, it’s time to consult with the Technology Purchase experts at EO Johnson to help ensure project success and offer long-term value.
