A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that lists out the requirements of a particular job or service. Organizations request RFPs from several vendors who are bidding for the job. In the eLearning sector, RFPs basically outline the scope of the project, timeline, budget, and so on. It explains the project requirements in detail and highlights your primary needs. It is not necessary to create RFPs for every project. But you should consider using one when the project is large and there are several bidders aiming to bag it. The better written your RFP is, the more vendors it will attract.
