We believe in two things:
We encourage our users to upload projects that they are not bidding on and we reward our users for doing so. Because of our model, The RFP Database is able to offer a steady stream of new projects for everything from accounting and public relations to construction and web development. We keep our costs to a minimum to make projects more accessible to businesses that are interested in them. For users, this translates into a site free of membership fees, free of commissions, and with a low per-project access exchange rate.
When you register with us, we provide you with 4 credits to get you started. You can then browse our catalog of open project leads. For each project, you will see a short description of the project, the proposal deadline, the location of the project, and the reputation of the person who uploaded the project. If you are interested in reading the full RFP, you can spend 2 credits to be provided with the full description as well as a link to the RFP (or in some cases, the RFP document itself).
Need more credits? You can go to the "Add a RFP" page to upload a RFP. Each qualifying RFP you upload earns you 10 credits! Or, if you prefer to buy credits directly, go to the "Buy Credits" page to purchase them for $1 each. Don't know where to find RFPs to upload? Check your local city or town website - chances are they will have a few currently out for bid!
