Request For Proposal(RFP)
![Page 13: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is an RFP?
An RFP is a standard tool used to purchase equipment and services by promoting competitive proposals among suppliers.
The RFP becomes a vehicle that allows both the buyer and the supplier to establish a dialogue and to work from the same set of rules, requirements, schedules, and information. The opportunity to have this dialogue is an important element in the process, because RFP requirements are often not clear and the supplier is allowed to question and interpret what is being requested.
Note: Proposals are a supplier’s interpretation of an RFP’s requirements.
![Page 14: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is a successful RFP:A successful RFP process requires us to do the following:
Formally recognize a deficiency or need in current operations that could be resolved through the purchase of systems, equipment or services
Identify appropriate potential suppliers and solutions
Gain visibility for internal acceptance of the identified need and potential solutions
Establish the project budget
Develop a project schedule
Organize project personnel
Identify real requirements
Develop evaluation criteria (Objective)
![Page 15: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is a less successful RFP:
A less successful process may include the following issues:
Not enough time has been allocated for the RFP process
Requirements unfairly limit the range of suppliers who may participate
Requirements are not clearly defined
Project deadlines are too short to allow suppliers to prepare proposals
The project team has not been fully educated about available technologies
A budget has not been established, or has been based on unverified data and is not sufficient for the project
Note: Strong leadership, dedicated resources, and management commitment are critical to a successful RFP and a successful relationship with the chosen supplier.
![Page 16: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are the different types of RFPs:
There are two different types of RFPs:
1. Request for Information (RFI)
2. Request for Proposal (RFP)
![Page 17: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Request for Information (RFI):
An RFI is a way for buyers to determine what is available from suppliers who respond to its requirements.
It is also a way for the buyer to determine whether the requested requirements are reasonable and whether appropriate technology is available.
The information from suppliers may help guide the subsequent RFP or cause it to be cancelled if suppliers do not respond.
Note: An RFI is not a mandatory prerequisite to writing an RFP.
![Page 18: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When do you consider writing RFIs:
RFIs may be considered when:
• The technology for the project is new to the industry or your company
• You would like to explore a variety of potential solutions
![Page 19: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Administrative Section
The first section of the RFP is the administrative section. The purpose of this section is to provide suppliers with a framework for their responses so that all proposals received, present the same information and follow the same structure.
![Page 21: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Contents:
The administrative section contains the following section:
1. Introduction and statement of the problem
2. RFP Schedule
3. Time and place to submit the proposal
4. Date of a bidders’ conference, if one is being held
5. Relevant dates for the procurement process
6. Requirements for preparing proposals
7. RFP contact names and addresses
8. Any other information suppliers may need in order to respond adequately
![Page 22: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Requirements Section
The requirements section contains the requirements for what you are buying,
The requirement section is the heart of the RFP and is where suppliers should spend the most time initially.
![Page 23: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Requirement Section
• Vendors will “interpret” requirements if they are not clear.
• Use an RFI if you can not determine whether products or services exist for your project.
Note: The proposals received in response to an RFI should help you to focus on:
1. The correct technology
2. The appropriate set of suppliers
![Page 24: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Writing Requirements
There are always two parts to every requirement:
1. The requirement itself
2. The evaluation or measurement criteria
We may also argue for a third criteria, which may seem obvious but is commonly overlooked. A product or service must exist in order to satisfy the requirement.
3. The requirement must be feasible
![Page 25: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Management Section
A supplier’s response to the RFP’s management section will clearly indicate whether the supplier’s company has the requisite project management skills, resources, and experience to be considered for the project. A supplier may have developed the proposed functional and technical product but lack the ability to develop and implement an effective management program.
![Page 26: Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com February 2007 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Selection Presented by: Masoud Shams Ahmadi masoudsa@hotmail.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec65503460f94bd1790/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sections of a project management plan
The project management section typically requires, but it is not limited to development of the following:
Project Plan
Site preparation plan and responsibilities
Staffing requirements
Design, development, and implementation
Delivery and installation
System acceptance test
System Maintenance
Training
Documentation

Pricing Section
A successful RFP meets two basic requirements:
1 – Products or Services meet the requirements
2 - Product or Services fall within the projected budget
Notes:
It is critical to the evaluation of proposals to have pricing presented in a consistent format.
