RFP IT Related

1. Analyze the selected formal written proposal for structure, content, and unique requirements specific to the product or service being requested. Review the delivery methods, legal requirements, and other relevant points for consideration to be included as appropriate to the RFP solicitation you will be creating.
2. Key sections that you should pay special attention include:

• The scope of work or scope of service
• Special requirements and qualifications to be able to bid
• RFP’s selection criteria (What is the criteria and point system use),
• RFP management process
• Contract type ( Is it Fixed Price, Cost Plus, or T&M ?) (Links to an external site.)

(NOTE: You are not responding to the RFP solicitation; you are just analyzing the most important sections to prepare you for PART 2 of the course project)

Using the RFP Analysis Template (Links to an external site.), you will write an analysis on the selected IT RFP’s from Part 1-A.  You will create a document with the following information:

• Title Page

• Analyze the management plan (Write 1-2 pages)
