This scenario describes a Request for Information (RFI), which is used to gather information about potential solutions, vendors, and industry trends before a formal request for proposal (RFP) is issued. The RFP includes more specific requirements and invites vendors to submit detailed proposals. A request for quotation (RFQ) is used when the required products or services are well-defined and the main consideration is the price. A request for tender (RFT) is similar to an RFP, but is typically used in government and public sector organizations.
