Presentations

What's the difference between an RFP and an RFQ? When do public agencies use them? How should consultants evaluate when to respond ... or, not?

ABCs of RFPs and RFQs is a PowerPoint presentation offered to Division members for use at a state chapter or regional conference session. The presentation is aimed at planning agencies seeking consultant services and planning consultants seeking work. The PowerPoint can be used as a continuing education session or program to educate and generate thoughtful discussion on a relevant topic.

The PowerPoint can also be used by Division members as an effective tool to hone your skills in pursuing RFPs or RFQs to further your practice.
