SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl.

What problem does it solve? Drafting a complete, comparable RFQ or RFP from scratch is slow and error-prone, and poorly structured questionnaires produce supplier responses that cannot be scored side by side. This Skill builds a standardized multi-sheet Excel workbook plus an HTML summary report so procurement teams can launch a sourcing event quickly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Workbook Generation: Creates seven to eight sheets (Supplier Information, Business Process, Technical/Service, Operational, Pricing, Rate Card or Unit Cost, Attachments) with formulas, data validations, and consistent styling via openpyxl. - Two-Phase Intake: Asks initial scoping questions, silently researches the category, then asks informed follow-up questions with category-specific options. - Adaptive Templates: Adjusts sheets for goods, services, or hybrid engagements and supports subscription, milestone, and time-and-materials pricing models. - Use Case: A procurement analyst needs an RFP for IT help-desk outsourcing; the Skill interviews them, researches the category, and delivers a scored Excel workbook and an HTML brief ready to send to suppliers. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create an RFQ for your good or service, for example: create an RFQ for corrugated packaging for my company.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an RFQ or RFP template in Excel?

Describe the good or service you are sourcing and your company name, then answer the two-phase intake questions. The Skill generates a multi-sheet Excel workbook with supplier information, requirements, pricing, and rate card sheets using openpyxl.

What sheets does the generated RFQ workbook include?

The workbook includes Supplier Information, Business Process Requirements, Technical and Service Requirements, Operational Requirements, Pricing Information, a Rate Card or Unit Cost sheet, and Attachments. Hybrid engagements get an eighth Unit Cost sheet.

Can the RFQ template handle goods, services, and hybrid engagements?

Yes, the Skill adapts its sheets by engagement type. Goods use a Unit Cost sheet, services keep a Labor Rate Card, and hybrid engagements include both, with requirement questions tailored to each category.

Does the RFQ workbook support different pricing models?

Yes, it supports subscription, milestone, and time-and-materials pricing models. Subscription adds an Annual Fee column, milestone adds Milestone Name and Amount columns, and time-and-materials aligns with the rate card structure.

Can I disable formulas and validations in the Excel output?

Yes, set the include-formulas option to false to strip scoring formulas, data validations, and conditional formatting. By default they are preserved so supplier responses can be scored automatically.
