Request for Proposal

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a document that solicits proposal, often made through a bidding process, by an agency or company interested in procurement of a commodity, service, or valuable asset. Coursera's RFP catalogue teaches you to understand, design and respond to RFPs effectively. You'll learn about the importance of clear communication, defining objectives, and the role of RFPs in strategic sourcing. You'll also hone your skills in creating evaluation criteria, proposal comparison, negotiation, and forming win-win supplier relationships. This knowledge can be applied across a spectrum of industries and roles like procurement managers, business development professionals, or anyone involved in organizational decision-making processes.
