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 outline the project’s scope, timeline, budget, etc. 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 significant, and several bidders are aiming to bag it. The better written your RFP is, the more vendors it will attract.
