The Request for Proposal (RFP) Outline is a document used to provide a general overview of the expectations, scope, and purpose of a business proposal. It outlines the questions to be answered by all bidders in the proposal, as well as the criteria for evaluating the proposals. By providing an outline of what is expected, it helps ensure all participants have the same understanding of the project in question and allows for easy comparison of bids. With an RFP Outline, businesses have the clarity they need to make smart decisions about which vendor to work with moving forward.
