The Meeting Services Department will utilize these steps to track RFPs for all events. Overview The RFP process invites hotel suppliers to submit competitive bids for events. This process encourages competition and provides prospects with fair and honest dealings with hotel suppliers. Depending on location, an RFP will be sent to a minimum of three hotel suppliers per program.
