Request for Proposal
A formal document a company issues to invite vendors to submit written proposals based on a defined scope of needs. A standard B2B Indonesian RFP has 8 main sections: (1) company background and project context; (2) detailed technical scope; (3) functional & non-functional requirements; (4) evaluation criteria with scoring weights (typically: price 30%, technical 40%, vendor track record 20%, SLA 10%); (5) submission timeline with a clarification meeting; (6) standard response template; (7) expected commercial terms; (8) NDA attachment. Typical issuance-to-award timeline: 4-8 weeks for MNC corporate RFPs, 6-12 weeks for SOE/government RFPs going through the tender path. Vendor tier that typically responds to RFPs of 50+ units: tier-1 multinational (HP/Dell/Lenovo direct) or mature tier-2 local vendors like Arental with MNC track record. Professional RFP response capability = a strong signal the vendor is mature and has enterprise-grade administration capacity.
