Make the assignment clear

Define issue areas, jurisdictions, service dates, and an optional PDF brief so firms understand the work you need.

Choose who gets the invitation

Publish to the network or keep an opportunity private and invite selected lobbyists to respond.

Bring terms into the decision

Review proposal details and billing terms, counter a proposal, or accept the offer that fits your organization.

From brief to selection

A proposal process with the context attached.

Keep the assignment and each firm’s response close together. Your team can revisit the scope, review proposed service and billing terms, and continue the negotiation without rebuilding the history. Accepting a proposal creates the engagement and closes the opportunity.

A little more clarity

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Can I run an invite-only lobbying RFP?

Yes. Publish a private opportunity and invite selected lobbyists. Draft opportunities stay internal until you publish them.

Do I need to set a budget before publishing?

No. Billing terms are optional in the opportunity. You can share target terms or leave firms to propose a complete commercial structure.

Can I negotiate before accepting?

Yes. Review the proposal’s scope and terms, send a counterproposal, and continue the discussion before selecting your partner.
