解説
問 20
Incorrectア
This describes the “proposal” that the IT vendor side creates. An RFP is a document by which the ordering party asks vendors for a proposal, so here the author's standpoint (a vendor rather than the ordering party) and the purpose (making a proposal rather than requesting one) are both reversed, which makes it wrong.
- イ
正解 An RFP (Request For Proposal) is a document that the ordering party draws up, when procuring an information system, by compiling the procurement conditions such as the requirements for the system, the budget, the delivery deadline, and the contract conditions, in order to ask IT vendors for a concrete proposal (a proposal document or a quotation). Option “イ”, “a document created by the ordering party in order to indicate to IT vendors the procurement conditions and so on for the information system to be developed,” exactly matches this definition, so it is the correct answer. Each vendor that receives the RFP draws up a proposal document based on its contents, and the ordering party compares them to select the supplier to place the order with.
Incorrectウ
A document in which the ordering party and the vendor that received the order jointly clarify the specifications corresponds to design documents produced after the contract, such as a requirements definition document or an external design document. An RFP is created by the ordering party alone before the supplier is decided (at the procurement stage), so both its timing and its author differ, which makes it wrong.
Incorrectエ
An internal document in which a user department asks the company's own information systems department to clarify the necessity of development and the development requirements corresponds to a systemization request or a request at the planning stage. An RFP is a document that indicates procurement conditions to external IT vendors, so the fact that its recipient here is an internal department makes it wrong.
ここがポイント
- An RFP (Request For Proposal) is a document created by the ordering party to indicate procurement conditions and requirements to IT vendors and to request proposals from them. Keep firmly in mind the relationship of roles: the author is the ordering party, and the recipient is an external vendor.
- A similar term is RFI (Request For Information), which is a document used at the stage before requesting proposals, in order to gather information such as products and technologies from vendors. Distinguish them by the procurement flow RFI → RFP → proposal document.
