Why Are We Still Asking Suppliers Questions We Already Asked in the RFP?

If you’ve sat through supplier presentations only to hear your team ask the same questions that were answered in the RFP response... you’re not alone.

It’s frustrating. It wastes time. And it signals a deeper issue:

🔸 The evaluation process isn’t working
🔸 Stakeholders are not engaged with the RFP content
🔸 Important decisions are being made too late in the process

At Wolfe Procurement, we help teams avoid this with:

✔️ RFP responses summarized and mapped to scoring criteria
✔️ Stakeholder evaluation guides to align expectations
✔️ Pre-read packages so the team shows up informed
✔️ Structured presentation templates for vendors to avoid redundancy
✔️ Moderated debriefs to focus on what matters most

An effective RFP process doesn’t just get the job done—it gets it done without wasting everyone's time.

💬 If your last RFP felt like déjà vu, we should talk.
