eTender or eRFX - it includes eRFQ - Request for Quotation eRFP - Request for Proposal eRFI / EOI - Request for Information/ Expression of Interest The e-RFx system is divided into discrete sections and usually an e-RFx will have very prescriptive questions so it will be easier to give the client the response they are looking for. e-RFx System covers complete processes such as centralized user registration, preparation of notice, preparation of Bid forms, invitation of Bids, conducting online pre-bid meeting, collection of bid security, on-line Bid submission, Bid opening & evaluation, negotiations. e-RFx goes some way to leveling the playing field where everyone is answering the same questions and often within a set word limit so it should be much easier for the evaluator to reach an objective decision with an e-RFx. e-RFx usually has some full proofing to it, so you cannot submit an e-RFx unless you have completed mandatory sections. This means it is impossible to submit a noncompliant bid.
