What is an RFP, and how does it differ from an RFQ?

What will be an ideal response?


A request for proposal (RFP) is a written list of the information system requirements that you give to prospective software vendors before you decide on a specific package. RFPs help the vendors determine whether they have a product that is a possible software solution. A request for quotation (RFQ) solicits price and related information from vendors for the particular hardware and/or software products you specify in the proposal. The RFP tends to be open-ended in terms of the possible solutions sought by the organization, while the RFQ usually identifies a specific solution.
