Description
Understand the importance of RFPs, their role in the overall procurement process, and how to draft more effective RFPs.
RFPs are one of the most important tools businesses have to ensure they get the best contract terms and pricing in their vendor agreements. Unfortunately, because of a failure to use RFPs effectively, many businesses have substantially decreased or, even, abandoned the use of RFPs. This topic helps procurement, legal, and businesspersons better understand the importance of RFPs, their role in the overall procurement process, how to draft more effective RFPs, manage the RFP process for best results, and review RFP responses for key risk issues. The focus of the discussion will be on realworld techniques that can be put to immediate use in your business.
