Guide summary
Your RFP can preview matches first; MSP delivery requires explicit permission to share contact details.
Why consent matters
Managed services buying often involves sensitive business context, so contact sharing should be deliberate.
- Your request may include company details, technology needs, timing, and budget context.
- MSP Ranked can review the request without automatically distributing it to every provider.
- Explicit consent creates a clearer boundary for when providers may contact you.
How contact delivery should work
The RFP workflow separates request review from provider outreach.
- Your submitted request can be assessed for service, location, and fit signals.
- Eligible paid partners may be considered for routed delivery when the request matches their profile.
- Buyer contact information should only be shared when the relevant consent is present.
How to stay in control
Use the RFP form and direct provider conversations to manage the level of detail you share.
- Provide enough context for fit, but avoid unnecessary sensitive credentials or internal secrets.
- Ask providers to confirm their scope, experience, and next steps before sharing deeper technical detail.
- Use MSP Ranked profile pages to evaluate whether the provider should continue in your process.
