Welcome

Whether you are creating a request for proposal, request for bid, or request for quote, this website can solve many of your challenges and reduce your procurement costs.   Please read the Procurement Contract Risk Management study to understand the full importance of this site.

Research by our personnel has uncovered many sites involved in RFP/Bidding. All offer some of the services found on RFPsite.com, but none are as comprehensive.  Approximately 90% are oriented toward government entities; some are self-centric, listing only their RFP material; some specialize in only one industry, and unbelievably, others still employ manual back-end processes.  High entrance fees are not uncommon, with full payment expected before the full extent of the site capabilities are revealed to the subscriber. There is no doubt many of these services are valuable and respected by their subscribers, or they wouldn’t have survived. We anticipate partnering with some of these services, to help unite the small and large business community, where possible, for the benefit of all. 

RFPsite.com is equally inclusive of government and private sectors. While we have special tracking features for Participation Levels (tiers), we accept and encourage participation from the entire business community.

Our unique benefit is the function enabling verifiable tracking and management of the procurement process.  We provide an open and transparent environment in our endeavor to assist organizations in being compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  While the entire system is open and accessible by anyone, the bidding process is tightly secured.  Buyers agree to only accept bids (related to RFP's that are posted on this system) through this system and vendors may only return bids through this system.  This is how the tracking and reporting remains accurate and complete.  It has to be a joint effort between both parties.  It is the same process in use by most companies, except it has all the tracking and efficiency that has been lacking.

Conveniently each member can be both purchaser and vendor. For example, a large contractor has the ability to identify and subcontract part of a project to a smaller contractor through RFPsite.com. All activity is tracked and available in the system’s extensive reporting matrix. Corporations and government entities are able to easily track the activity of their tier one contractors, as it relates to letting of subcontracts. 

Now business entities of any form can research/locate each other to network, partner, and communicate to make things happen.  Purchasers will receive reporting and bids from many more vendors, thereby increasing competition & quality, which reduces price.  Vendors now have freedom to easily edit and submit their bids in a secure, timely and efficient process.
