The bottom line is government purchasing agents know what they need. So, when they share all the detailed ins and outs of the project, they\u2019re just helping the vendor, right? Sadly, this isn\u2019t always the case. When agents dictate minute details of how a project must be completed, that could close the door to vendors with innovative ideas. Some vendors may know more efficient ways of getting projects done and may be able to suggest a better option. By detailing the exact way government agents want the project completed, they may deter some vendors with inventive ideas from responding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dazed and confused<\/strong>
RFPs that are lengthy can be confusing. If a vendor has to read through the RFP several times and still isn\u2019t clear on what is needed, the likelihood of them creating a good response is small. In order to avoid rambling RFPs that cause confusion, procurement agents should re-read and edit the RFP before posting. This will ensure that the project is clearly and succinctly described so that vendors know what is expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
