🤝 Provider Response: RFP Stages

This section covers the key stages a service provider typically follows after receiving an RFP.

The stages may expand or collapse depending on the deal size, solution complexity, timelines, approvals, and governance model.

The goal is simple: to provide a structured, end-to-end view of how a provider qualifies, shapes, prices, submits, and negotiates an RFP response.
