When to use it.
Request for Proposal is an eight-page RFP written the way a capable digital manager writes one: specific about the work, open about the budget and honest about the constraints. A museum commissioning a new website sets out who it is, what is wrong with its current site, five goals with today's figures and targets, nine requirements ranked Must or Should, a key dates table, the budget range, what every proposal must include and evaluation criteria weighted to 100%. Submission rules, the questions process and short terms close it.

Make it yours in four steps.
Open it in Documents and work through it, or let Docsiv AI do the first pass with your details.
- Step 1
Replace the museum with your organisation on the cover and in the running heads: name, mark, reference, issue date and contact.
- Step 2
Rewrite the background and goals around your own project, keeping a measure, today's figure and a target for each goal.
- Step 3
Set your requirements, key dates and budget range, and highlight the dates that cannot move.
- Step 4
Adjust the evaluation weights so they still add up to 100%, check the submission details, then send it as a PDF or Word file.
