EP CSW: The Art of the RFP - Building Better Partnerships



A well-crafted Request for Proposal (RFP) does more than solicit bids—it lays the foundation for successful, long-term partnerships. Join us for The Art of the RFP: Building Better Partnerships, an interactive discussion exploring the RFP process from both the property management and service provider perspectives.

Hear from Paige Salazar, Director of Property Management at CBRE, and Antonio Partida, Vice President at Metro Services Group, as they share practical strategies for creating more effective RFPs, improving communication throughout the proposal process, and building stronger relationships between property teams and vendors.

Topics will include:
  • developing clear and comprehensive scopes of work
  • evaluating proposals consistently
  • balancing cost with quality and service
  • understanding what vendors need to deliver accurate proposals
  • avoiding common pitfalls that can impact project success.

Whether you're responsible for issuing RFPs or responding to them, you'll leave with actionable insights and best practices to help create a more transparent, efficient, and collaborative procurement process. 

This is a free event, aimed at Emerging Professionals but open to all members.
