解説
問 1
Incorrectア
This assigns a: RFI and b: RFP, with a and b reversed. Field a, which asks for the submission of a proposal, should be RFP, and field b, which asks for the provision of information, should be RFI; the assignment is the opposite, so it is wrong.
Incorrectイ
Treating a as RFI is wrong (field a, which requests the submission of a proposal, should be RFP). In addition, the SLA (Service Level Agreement) in b is a contractual document that stipulates the quality level of the service provided; it is not a document that requests the provision of information.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is ウ (a: RFP, b: RFI). Field a is the document that specifies the overview of the information system to be procured, the items to be addressed in the proposal, and the procurement conditions, and asks the vendor to submit a proposal, so RFP (Request For Proposal) belongs there. Field b is the document that shows the purpose of systemization and an overview of the operations, and asks the vendor to provide information such as products, technologies, and market trends, so RFI (Request For Information) belongs there. It is also worth remembering the order: an RFI is issued in the early stage of procurement to gather information, and an RFP requesting concrete proposals is issued afterward.
Incorrectエ
a: RFP is correct, but treating b as SLA is wrong. An SLA is a document in which the service provider and the user agree on the service level; it does not apply to b (= RFI), which requests the provision of information.
ここがポイント
- An RFP (Request For Proposal) is a document that asks a vendor to submit a proposal, while an RFI (Request For Information) is a document that asks a vendor to provide information such as products and technologies. In procurement, they are basically issued in the order RFI to RFP.
- An SLA (Service Level Agreement) is a document that stipulates the quality level of the service provided; its role differs from that of the procurement documents RFI and RFP.
