Description

This is a software supported scenario-based exercise. The first module of the Request for Proposal (RFP) provides participants the opportunity to review the RFP structure and evaluate a sample RFP, which may be offered as a stand-alone module. The entire simulation is day-and-a-half long, which can be made available to an RFP team in the classroom or as a synchronous, distributed training solution via the Internet. Based on the experiential learning model, whereby individuals make meaning from direct experiences, the program reveals the team’s degree of technical RFP readiness, as well as the ability of the team to work together to solve problems.

Objectives

Identify the RFP sections in which specific programmatic information and requirements are found

Assess the RFP to determine if the requirements meet the program needs

Detect if the RFP contains inconsistencies, vagueness, or contradictory requirements

Target Attendees

The training audience should include participants who are directly connected to and involved in a forthcoming solicitation release. Participants may include, but are not limited to: program management, technical support personnel (e.g. engineering, logistics), contracting staff, legal counsel and budget personnel.
