Does anyone have an RFP sample or template they can share? I found a few online but would appreciate any input from the pro's here.
Thanks.

Are you issuing or responding to the RFP?

Issuing.

Did you consider issuing an RFI (Request for Information) to narrow down the vendors that would be submitting the RFP?
RFI is good to get a good understanding of vendor (their services and process).
In your RFP process, allow for the vendors to submit questions for clarification and then share the questions and your response to ALL vendors. My preference is not to share the names of the other vendors that are responding to the RFP.
If you're scoring the responses, do it in a Excel spreadsheet.
For pricing, be clear on what you're expecting as some vendors will try to phase the solution and bill more in change requests later.
Good luck!

From a developer, designer or agency perspective: What is the "essential information" in any RFI or RFP? In other words, when you receive an RFP from a potential client what information is crucial and MUST be included in order for you to compose an accurate response?
I am trying to learn how to write the best RFI/RFPs possible. Any input is appreciated.

I've got a feeling the coffee might be cold by the time I ship it to you e-pill, but I'm sending good vibes your way.
