Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

When will Chicago Board Of Education issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Chicago Board Of Education's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
