Partner, GC Strategies
My contracts come out of RFPs. All of the contracts I've been awarded have been competed for.
An RFP comes out on the street. I read it and see if we have a partner network or resources that would be interested in bidding on the opportunity. I speak with those resources, clarify that our corporate requirements meet those of that department, put together a bid, submit it, and if we are awarded the contract, we execute on the contract.
