RFIs: Distinguish, Apply, and Win is a foundational course for procurement professionals who want to master the art of early-stage supplier engagement. Using the wrong tool for the job leads to confusing responses, wasted time, and poor sourcing decisions. This course provides the essential knowledge to distinguish between a Request for Information (RFI) and a Request for Quotation (RFQ), ensuring that you approach the market with a clear and strategic purpose every time.

You will learn to analyze your project needs to determine whether you should explore the market with an RFI or solicit firm pricing with an RFQ. Through hands-on activities, you will master a standardized, three-step process for issuing a professional RFI: populating a template, distributing it to suppliers, and systematically filing the responses. Drawing on real-world templates and best practices, you will build a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to conduct clean, compliant, and effective market research that sets the stage for procurement success.

This module focuses on the critical strategic decision of which procurement document to use and when. We explore why confusing an RFI with an RFQ results in inefficient sourcing and poor outcomes. You will learn what defines each document and the distinct roles in the procurement lifecycle. You will then learn how to use a simple framework to decide the appropriate tool for your specific need. You will apply this knowledge in practice scenarios and assess your understanding, ensuring that you can confidently choose the right path forward.

This module provides the practical, step-by-step skills to execute a professional RFI process. You will learn why a standardized process is essential for compliance and fair comparison. We will provide a downloadable RFI template (what) and show you how to populate, distribute, and file it according to best practices. You will apply your skills in a guided dialogue and then be assessed in a final project where you manage an entire RFI process from start to finish.
