RFP Responses Library - Ideas?

sschreiner

Has anyone used Smartsheet to create a library of RFP responses? Or something similar? There is obviously a very simple way to do it just with a grid that contains 'Question'/ 'Response' columns and maybe a couple more columns for tagging/ categorization. But curious if anyone has done anything cool or has any best practices.

We have used a sheet with the following columns that works very well to capture more than just a response for a solution that we are proposing to a client who has put out an RFP:

Category/Question/Requirement - Category (for organizing hierarchically) and then the questions/requirement under each category

Accept - This is a Dropdown column where we can indicate the following responses to the question: Yes, Partial, Alternate, No, Partial

Demo - Is there a demo link or a POC link that we can show the capability or something similar

Implementation Details - How the solution can implement the requirement

Assumptions - any assumptions that we want to list pertaining to our response

Alternate Solution / Longer Term - If the Accept is No or Alternate, we can explain here

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
