Other factors are assessed in addition to the auction outcome before the award.

Request for Proposal (RFP) (electronic or paper-based) Buyers use this when they know exactly what they want and they have qualified the suppliers that are quoting. Request for Quotation (RFQ) (electronic or paper-based) Buyers use this when they need more information about the suppliers and product or service offerings, before they can determine requirements for a price quote.
