request for proposal
<programming> (RFP) The publication by a prospective software purchaser
of details of the required system in order to attract offers by software
developers to supply it. Software development under contract starts with the
selection of the software developer by the customer. A request for proposal
(also called in Britain an "invitation to tender") is the beginning of the
selection process.
