Frequently asked questions

What is “Request for Proposal”?

Request for Proposal issued by a buyer for a services or solution engagement (not a simple price enquiry). Covers project background, scope of work, deliverables, mandatory vs. desired requirements, weighted evaluation criteria, commercial constraints, target timeline and submission format. Aligned with ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.4.2, ISO 20400:2017 (sustainable procurement) and with public-procurement practice under Directive 2014/24/EU art. 67 (award criteria) adapted for private-sector use. On papii this document is available as template generic.procurement.rfp: a JSON Schema plus a deterministic PDF renderer, so the same data always produces the same document.

Can I generate a Request for Proposal with AI?

Yes. chut.app — the AI back office papii powers — fills this template from a plain-language description: you describe the document in one sentence, the AI structures the data, papii validates it against the schema and renders the PDF. Developers can also call the papii API directly with structured JSON.

Is the Request for Proposal template legally compliant?

This template is render-verified: its schema, sample data and PDF output are automatically tested on every release. It is published with status “ready”, meaning it has not yet been through papii’s final legal review. Where it references specific legislation, that is stated in the template description — always have a professional check documents with legal effect before relying on them.
