Looking for publishing RFPs? You’re in luck! At Creative RFPs, we know all about publishing RFPs. So, if you have questions, we will be happy to answer them. In this blog, we will cover what publishing RFPs are, where to find them, and how to win! Keep reading, you don’t want to miss out…
For those that are unsure, publishing RFPs are contracts that require some form of printing and publication services. A company or organisation may require the following to be printed/published:
Do you offer any of these services? Do you want to bid for contracts to expand your business? There are plenty of opportunities out there, which is why it’s so beneficial to RFP for work. Looking for contracts allows your business access to opportunities you wouldn’t know about otherwise. Keep reading if you want to know where to find the perfect publishing RFPs for your business…
Most of us will turn to a search engine such as Google when we need to find something. It is the wizard that has all the answers to our questions. But when you search for ‘publishing RFPs’, you’ll find yourself swamped with countless sites to visit. Each site will feature information differently. Most will not make it easy for you either.
You’ll likely have to read lengthy RFP documents to get to the key details of each RFP. This could be the deadline date, location, budget, or perhaps an element that dictates whether or not you are eligible. Imagine reading over 50 pages to find out you aren’t eligible for a RFP, or the deadline is too soon. That is a lot of time wasted!
There are easier ways of finding publishing RFPs…
As one of Hudson Discover’s 11 sector-specific portals, Creative RFPs makes it easy to find opportunities.
These portals were designed to make it simple to find RFPs suitable to your preferences. For example, you can use filters to search for RFPs based on location, keywords, dates, and budget. You may be familiar with RFP portals, so what makes ours different?
Well, each of our portals are updated daily by Opportunity Trackers that don’t use CPV codes. These codes are used to identify contract opportunities, but they can often have errors. This means that we will never miss a RFP due to the wrong code.
Every day, we will send you a RFP notification of all the new opportunities you may be interested in.
What if you could streamline the process even further?
The good news is – you can!
Sign up to Discover Elite via your chosen portal where a dedicated Account Manager finds live bids on your behalf. They’ll speak with you weekly to discuss opportunities that may interest you. This is especially helpful for those with little time to spare due to busy schedules.
Upgrading to Discover Elite will ensure you never miss a RFP opportunity even when you’re busy!
