Instruction
You have been given the task of preparing an RFP (Request for Proposal) to send out to vendors for the development of a new information system for a construction company. To select the best vendor for the job, you will need to gather information about your company and how various vendors will complete the project. You have the option to submit the full RFP or write a paper covering the components of any RFP. Be sure to include all the bullet points noted below.
Write a paper in APA format:
Provide background on the project you will be requesting a proposal for.
Discuss the process used for requirements analysis, what is needed to be designed, and how will it be implemented. Examples may be a new business system application or new computers systems that will replace legacy systems.
Discuss what questions should you ask in the RFP to gather information about each vendor’s project plan and deliverables, including time and cost.
Discuss what would be the selection criteria for the vendor.
Submit your paper as a word document in APA format with an introduction, body, and a conclusion. This is a research based paper so that information gathered from research should be cited. There should be a separate reference page. The paper must include a minimum of 3 references for research and be a minimum of 3 pages in length (not including the title and reference pages). See sample paper provided for APA format.
