Send one RFP and compare every proposal that comes back.

Every vendor prices the same scope, so cost and coverage line up. You pick one and sign with it.

Write the RFP once and read every proposal side by side.

Draw the property, send the scope, compare what comes back. You decide and you hold the contract.

Draw your community on the map.

Trace your common areas on a satellite image. Your RFP carries an approximate acreage, and each vendor confirms it on its walkthrough.

  • You draw the boundaryEvery vendor reads the same map. A manual draw is always available.
  • The figure is an estimateIt comes from your drawing. It is not a survey.

A sample community with sample vendors. Each vendor sets its own price after reading the scope, and sales tax is its own line on the invoice.

The same scope for every vendor

Your RFP lists the work once. Each vendor prices those lines, so the proposals compare line for line.

  • Line by lineVisits, chemistry, safety checks and extras each sit on their own line.

How one request runs from start to award.

The same five steps for a pool, a mowing contract or a turn on one unit.

  1. Write the request once

    The property, the scope, the trade, the insurance you require and the date answers are due. It prints and downloads, so everyone prices from the same sheet.

  2. Qualified vendors answer

    A vendor whose recorded coverage falls below a line you made mandatory cannot send a proposal.

  3. Read the proposals side by side

    Each proposal answers the same lines in the vendor’s own figures and words, with its start date.

  4. Pick one and sign

    You hold the contract. Put the finalists to a vote first if a group decides.

  5. The work files itself

    The vendor you choose joins your approved vendors. The next request starts from a known community instead of a blank page.

Find open RFPs and write the proposal.

Opening an RFP costs nothing, and no proposal has to follow.

Read open RFPs near you before you decide.

See requests from communities near you and propose with your documents already checked. A vendor browses every open RFP and every customer with the names, logos, titles, descriptions and exact sizes held back. The city, the state, the trade, the season, the budget and the size band are shown; nothing that identifies one community is sent.

  • Your trades, your radiusThe list shows the RFPs you can actually serve.
  • Documents checked for youThe proposal gate reads the same file you already filed.

A proposal that answers the RFP line by line.

Answer an RFP in five steps: review the scope, plan the visits, add your line items, write your notes and review before you send.

  • You set the priceEach vendor prices the scope after reading it.

Proposals are sealed.

A vendor reads only its own proposal. The community that published an RFP reads every proposal sent to it, and decides who it contracts with. A vendor reads the RFP it opened and the proposal it sent, and only those. The limit is enforced where proposals are stored, not only on the screen, so it holds on every page and in the live feed.

Take proposal requests on your own website.

A short snippet of HTML puts a request form on your own site. Your company’s name is on the form, and a visitor never meets a VendoRFP sign-up.

  • You list the addressesOnly the addresses you register can show the form. Anything else is refused.
  • No charge per requestNo cap on how many pages carry it. WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, React and plain HTML each have an install guide.

Questions before you send one

Who holds the contract?

You do. Whoever runs the community reads the proposals side by side, picks one and signs with that vendor.

Can we put a proposal to a vote?

Yes, when a group decides. Each member gets a secure ballot link from your dashboard and the tally is ready when the vote closes. When one person decides, skip the vote.

Do we have to switch vendors?

No. Invite the vendor you already use. They join for free and file their insurance.

What does an RFP cost?

Uploading and sending your own RFP is free, and sending never costs credits. An AI first draft uses credits.

Can a vendor see the other proposals?

No. A vendor reads the RFP it opened and the proposal it sent, and only those. You read them all.
