About What is an RFP?

The response may need methodology, capability evidence and pricing against stated evaluation criteria.

Common mistake: Do not provide only a price when the buyer requests a substantive proposal.

Frequently asked questions

Which document should I rely on?

Always use the publishing organisation's current invitation and official amendments. This glossary explains terms; it does not change tender conditions.
