ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 97
ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 97 of 100
The information systems department presents system requirements and procurement conditions to vendors — this is the normal direction and content of an RFP.
The requesting organization documents what it needs and invites prospective vendors to propose an approach, schedule, organization, price, and other terms. Comparable proposals can then be evaluated against disclosed criteria.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) makes user departments the recipients, but an RFP solicits proposals from suppliers
- (c) and (d) reverse the direction by having a vendor issue the request and refer to an installation result, which is known only after implementation
Key rule: An RFP moves from buyer to candidate vendors before procurement and states requirements and proposal conditions, not completed-system results.
