解説

問 9

Incorrectア
The problems of the current system are information best grasped by the ordering company that operates its own system every day; they are a precondition that the ordering company presents to the vendor in the RFP (Request For Proposal). They are not an item requested from the vendor as a proposal.
イ
正解 The proposal items that the ordering company requests from the vendor refer to content that the vendor, who carries out the development, should present on its own initiative. The implementation structure — with what staffing, division of roles, and work schedule the new system will be developed — can only be made concrete by the vendor that actually does the development, and is a typical item that should be clarified in the proposal. Therefore the implementation structure for developing the new system is the most appropriate.
Incorrectウ
The aims and requirements of the new system are the ordering company's own goals and demands about what it wants to achieve; they are items the ordering company defines, writes into the RFP, and conveys to the vendor. They are not something for the vendor to propose.
Incorrectエ
The evaluation criteria for the proposal content are a yardstick that the ordering company sets in advance by itself in order to review and select proposals from multiple vendors. They are not a proposal item requested from the vendor, but a preparation item on the ordering company's side.

ここがポイント

In the RFP (Request For Proposal), the ordering company presents the background, purpose, requirements, and evaluation criteria, and the vendor accordingly shows solutions, costs, implementation structure, and so on in the proposal.
The key point of this question is to separate the items the ordering company presents from the items the vendor proposes; how development will proceed (the implementation structure) belongs to what the vendor proposes.
