Training / Support by MySmartRFP.com

The request for proposals (RFP) is one of the most important stages in the relationship between institutionals and their investment management and administrative service providers.
The RFP:

Helps access the public procurement market,
Detects diversity and innovation in submissions,
Guarantees transparency and equity;

So RFPs are clearly important, but they are still the weak link in the asset management value chain.

In general, there is little familiarity with the various (public- or private-sector) forms of RFPs.
RFPs are too often given a cursory glance as opportunities arise.
Submission staffs generally have a spotty awareness of RFP opportunities available.
The writing quality of submissions is too often subpar.

Addressing a need

Better general knowledge of the RFP landscape to avoid redoing work each time on the same subjects and losing time repeatedly from one RFP to another.
A more fully integrated organisational set-up to prevent bottlenecks and delays in producing the various submission documents.
An in-depth “post-mortem” analysis of post-submission RFPs and the strengths and weaknesses identified.
A qualitative review of content, a part that is too often cliched and fails to highlight the candidature’s intrinsic qualities.
