Answer to Question 1

A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that is used to tell vendors what your requirements are and to invite them to provide information about how they might be able to meet those requirements. An RFP is sent to vendors who might potentially be interested in providing hardware and/or software for the system. Among the areas that may be covered in an RFP are the following:
A summary of existing systems and applications
Requirements for system performance and features
Reliability, backup, and service requirements
The criteria that will be used to evaluate proposals
Timetable and budget constraints
The RFP is then sent to prospective vendors along with an invitation to present their bids for the project.
