Overview

Now that a decision has been made to outsource, there are a few steps before the work commences. First, it is recommended that at least 3 different vendors are solicited with a request for proposal (RFP). This RFP should include scope of the project and proposed time, along with other important sections. The statement of work will thoroughly outline all of the work you are requesting of the selected RFP. You will be researching templates for both the RFP and the statement of work that work best for your selected project.
