About this event

Does your government struggle with lengthy, convoluted RFPs that deter vendors rather than attract them?

RFPs are one of the most important tools in public procurement, yet many RFP templates have grown outdated, inconsistent, and difficult for vendors to navigate. A poorly structured RFP can limit competition, discourage innovative solutions, and create barriers for small and emerging businesses.

Join the Procurement Excellence Network (PEN) and U.S. Digital Response (USDR) for a training session on redesigning RFPs to increase vendor participation and improve proposal quality. This session will highlight recent research on common RFP pain points, explore best practices in structuring more accessible, vendor-friendly templates, and share real-world government examples of successful redesign efforts.

Participants will also take part in an interactive exercise to critique and refine an example RFP in real time, applying lessons from the session to their own procurement processes.
