WRITTEN RESPONSE TO AN

RFP

20% of Your Final Grade

Step 1

Carefully read the client's RFP to be sure you fully understand the expectations.

Step 2

Create the outline in the format and order defined in the RFP to demonstrate the

ability to follow directions.

(Sometimes this can mean simply responding to the issues in the order

they were presented in the RFP)

Step 3

Brainstorm responses to each section and subsection(s) by writing responses to each client requirement. For the initial draft, words and phrases can be used.

Repeat this step for all sections.

Step 4

Flesh out your ideas and add detailed content to each of them to fully address

the client's needs. 

Important Notes

Some RFP’s will outline exactly how they want you to present your response. If they don’t, then you are free to choose

the way you present your response.

Introduction

Introduction: Who are you? You will either give your name or a new company name. We will all say that we have five years of experience in the audio/visual field and would be perfect candidates for this job.

What are we responding to?

We will be responding to the Senators RFP available in your content section.

If you wish to respond to a different RFP, let me know.

Statement of Purpose

Statement of Purpose: You know what the Senators want. What is your purpose? What do you intend to do?

Scope of Work

Scope of Work: This is where we really get into what you are going to do for the Senators.

This section requires creativity and the bulk of work on your part. What can you do to revolutionize the in-game experience for all Sens fans?

Staff

Obviously, this will be fictional, so instead of saying how many people work for you, tell us about the kinds of people you will be hiring to make this project work.

Think outside the box on this one.

Cost

We do not have the tools or information to calculate cost. So, this section you can write whatever you want, or write nothing at all. The heading “Cost” must be in there, however.

Supporting Information

I will leave this section up to you. What would you include in this section?

Whatever you have will be fictional, but some examples are, quotes from people who you have worked for in the past, references, resumes.

Think of something for this section to make it creative.

Research

Please Note: The example you are using as a template does not have to be used exactly. There is always room to tweak

and make changes to suit your own style and purpose.

Marking

This is worth 20% of your final mark. 15 marks will be for content and

creativity 5 marks for style/grammar/spelling
