RFP response review
RFP response review is the legal and operational vetting of contractual terms embedded in customer RFP responses — pricing structures, data-handling commitments, regulatory attestations, SLA promises, indemnification scope. The review precedes the formal MSA and SOW work and often binds the eventual contract terms before negotiations begin.
Why this matters
For the teams that work with this concept daily
Sales / RevOps. Sellers often commit terms in RFP responses that legal would not approve in MSA negotiation. Catching the gap early prevents contract-stage friction.
Legal Operations / GC. The RFP stage is where contractual exposure begins; reviewing here is more leveraged than at MSA signature.
