Introduction
While dealing with RFPs, there are important aspects that need to be addressed to make the RFP response unique. There must also be a substantial link between the issues addressed in the RFP and the theoretical aspect of the issue at hand.
Response
The RFP response must be comprehensive and precise. Before, responding, I review the RFP’s requirements. Ensuring I respond to the RFP specifications, the practicality of the RFP and any extra items that would raise the returns on investment of the given project. The step is to draft an outline that adheres to the stipulated structure. The RFP response must also address the unclear components and questions in the RFP. Each of these must be answered satisfactorily. The presentation of the response must be orderly, quality and attractive; this could be instrumental in determining the best RFP response.
Each RFP response must be substantiated theoretically. This would serve as proof that the RFP is practical or doable. To substantiate the RFP, there is need to outline different relevant organizational development approaches. The different approaches will be used to explain the various ideologies and steps that were chosen to be part of the RFP response. The approaches can also be utilized to adress the questions in the RFP. Theoretical substantiation involves using theories and approaches of organizational development to justify the response in an RFP.
Conclusion
Therefore, RFPs require detailed responses that must satisfy and convince the organization in question that the response is accurate and practical. The response must have substantial theoretical proof that the response will work in case it is applied. This is why RFP responses must follow instructions and every stage required in any RFP response.
