Request for Proposal (RFP)
Definition
A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a document used to solicit detailed proposals from potential vendors or subcontractors, typically where the scope of work is not fully defined or where the method of delivery is part of what is being evaluated. RFPs invite respondents to propose how they would approach the work as well as at what cost.
In construction tendering, this means...
In construction, RFPs are more common in the early stages of project development, design competitions, or specialist technical packages where alternative approaches have significant value implications. General contractors more commonly issue RFQs for subcontract work once scope is defined.
