Workshop

This workshop for purchasing agency staff, included the basics of how to use the RFI:  purpose, timelines and scheduling, forms of notice, conducting an RFI meeting, utilizing results of the RFI, and responding to participants.  Below are the agenda and links to the handouts.  Eighty people attended from 8 state agencies and we received some very good questions, feedback and suggestions.   Note that the FAQ had been updated to include some of the questions asked.  There were several requests for examples in addition to those presented and those available on the procurement notices website (PNS).   We will be adding some sample formats.  In the meantime, check the Procurement Notices website to view other state agency RFIs.
