What can suppliers do when forwarding is allowed in the RFP?

When forwarding is allowed in the RFP, suppliers have the ability to send the RFP to any venue that they believe could meet the needs of the requester. This option is empowering for suppliers, as it enables them to broaden the pool of potential venues, ensuring a more accessible and diverse selection for the event planner. By allowing forwarding to any venue, suppliers can utilize their network and industry knowledge to connect planners with a multitude of possible options, including those that may not be directly associated with their organization. This enhances the chances of finding the most suitable venue based on the specific requirements outlined in the RFP.

In contrast, listing RFPs to sister venues or only within a specific city limits the scope of options and could hinder the planning process by reducing availability. The ability to post the RFP to showcase on behalf of the requester can be useful, but it does not represent the same level of flexibility as forwarding to any venue.
