If a one-stage RFP process is being used (i.e., no RFQ or RFEI), the advertising methods discussed for an RFEI and RFQ would also be sufficient for an RFP. The local government may wish to advertise more broadly through print media in a larger geographic area to attract more interest and potential partners in a one-stage project, especially if the project is large in scale.
If a two-stage process has been used (i.e., an RFQ or RFEI), the local government has likely already shortlisted candidates to receive the RFP. This can be beneficial to both the local government and private sector proponents. In this case, extensive advertising is not required, as the RFP is only distributed to shortlisted candidates.
