The methodology to assure the request for proposal (RFP) is structured to ensure successful system selection includes which of the following criteria?

1. Develop well constructed questions
2. Create a long list of elaborate questions
3. Request a quick review of the organization's needs
4. Selection of the final team to implement the system
5. Randomly ranked requirements


1
Rationale: All aspects of the RFP must be detailed and precise to facilitate an accurate response from the vendor. If questions are vague or poorly written, they could easily be misinterpreted by the vendor. For example, an ambiguous question might lead a vendor to indicate that the system meets a requirement when in fact it does not. It is advantageous to limit the number of requirements to those that are most important and to produce a simple and straightforward document. If an RFP is too lengthy, it will cost both the organization and the vendor a great deal of time and money to prepare and evaluate. It is difficult to evaluate a long document that is not focused on the important issues. Finally, a well-written RFP provides a framework that allows the steering committee to more accurately evaluate the vendor's proposal.
