How to Avoid Dragging Out the RFP Process


            Always set a final deadline for returning an RFI or RFP. If a supplier does not meet the deadline don’t consider them.  Don’t ever compromise a bid or the bid process by favoring certain suppliers. Many folks want to procrastinate bids. The real reason is their stake in a relationship with their homey supplier is threatened. They feel that they may be proven dead wrong especially if their favorite son supplier falters. If suppliers can’t follow basic instructions on RFPs do you really want them in a relationship? I think not.
