What is a request for proposal (RFP)?

In short

A request for proposal is a document a business sends to potential suppliers describing a project and inviting them to propose how they would deliver it and at what price. It lets you compare vendors on approach, expertise and cost in a structured way. For AI projects, a well-written RFP that states goals and constraints attracts stronger, more comparable proposals.
