What happens after you submit an RFP

After you submit an RFP, MSP Ranked uses the request details to review potential fit. The workflow is designed to protect buyer consent while making the request clear enough for eligible providers to evaluate.

Guide summary

MSP Ranked records your request, reviews eligible matches, and only shares buyer contact details with consent.

Your request is recorded for review

The submitted intake becomes a structured request that MSP Ranked can evaluate against the directory.

  • The details you provide help identify relevant services, locations, private buyer-environment context, and fit factors.
  • MSP Ranked may review whether the request is clear enough to route or whether more context is needed.
  • The request does not automatically send your contact details to every listed MSP.

Eligible matching is evaluated

RFP routing is different from public browsing because routed delivery depends on partner eligibility and buyer consent.

  • Free listed MSPs can appear in public search but may not be eligible for routed RFP delivery.
  • Paid partner eligibility, service fit, location fit, and buyer requirements can affect routing.
  • MSP Ranked should use the request context to avoid sending irrelevant opportunities.

Contact sharing follows buyer consent

Your contact details should only be shared according to the consent choices in the RFP workflow.

  • If consent is required and not granted, contact details should not be routed to providers.
  • If consent is granted, eligible providers may receive the details needed to respond.
  • You can use profile pages and direct conversations to continue provider due diligence.
