IMPORTANT DAILY BULLETIN UPDATE (August 13/24)

Earlier this year, as we have already shared (see below) , some daily bulletins were not always
consistently delivered due to heightened levels of global spam filter security systems.

After working closely with our ISP, Host Papa, we reached out to a specialist website
development company. They were tasked with updating our PHP mail sending code.

The daily bulletin, effective August 13/24 is now coming from a new email address:

daily-bulletin@rfp-leads.com

If you are not receiving the bulletin please check your spam/junk and whitelist it.

OVERVIEW OF RFP-LEADS.COM

RFP-Leads.com is the world's leading source of market intelligence for firms who work in the cultural, education and attractions sectors. Our core clientele are architects, landscape architects, interpretive planners, exhibit designers, exhibit fabricators and multimedia specialists. In addition, we have many smaller, more specialized clients that provide such services as signage, lighting, acoustics, business planning, graphic design, etc.

We deliberately aim to maintain a clientele of around 160 (+/-) clients. This approach allows us to provide unparalleled service and support to our 600+ registered users. It also ensures that there is plenty of food on the table! Lately, we've been identifying 60+ new global opportunities daily.

Every business day of the year we send each user a daily email bulletin which contains everything our expert team of researchers have found globally since the previous day. So, every day the content is brand new. As of August 2024 we have posted more than 218,000 opportunities globally since we launched RFP-Leads.com back in December of 2007. We're proud of the fact that in over 16 years we've never missed sending out the bulletin and our website has never gone down!

All our postings individually curated and are fully searchable on the website. We often say, we don't have a crystal ball, but we do have a fantastic rear-view mirror.

To help our clients take full advantage of our service, we provide a one-hour tutorial tour over the phone. In advance, we create a suite of custom saved searches to enable our clients to quickly identify opportunities that reflect their unique geography, sectors and services.

PUBLIC RFPS

RFPs and RFQs and other requests such as Expressions of Interest, Tenders or Bids, typically come from public sources, such as Federal, State/Provincial, and local governments. We regularly check more than 300 sources for this information. What makes us special is that our team of experienced researchers, personally curate all the postings to make them more accessible to our powerful, onboard search engine. Each posting is carefully checked, edited and verified. It's a time-consuming and very hands-on, human process to find and determine the relevance of these opportunities since the internet never throws anything away. Our team saves you from many hours of daily grind. Since RFPs are required to be in the public domain, they can be found by anyone. It's reasonable to assume that if you decide to pursue an RFP you could be up against a lot of competition.

PRIVATE LEADS

The term "LEADS" typically refers to any kind of opportunity. However, we have a special meaning for the word. Our definition of "LEADS" refers to future projects being planned, proposed or being discussed by the PRIVATE sectors. These include, non-profits, for-profits, institutions and organizations which are non-governmental. These types of clients rarely post their RFPs and RFQs on the street. Instead PRIVATE-sector clients typically develop a list of firms which they then invite to bid on their project. If you receive an "invitation to bid" it means you are already on a short list. To ensure you receive as many invitations to bid as possible you need to pro-actively reach out to these future clients and begin a conversation.

Our LEADS postings provide you with everything you need to make contact with your future client. Your minimum objective is to make sure you receive an invitation to bid when the project reaches the RFP/RFQ stage. Many of our clients tell us that if they have not heard about a project before the RFP stage it is generally too late. Our clients also tell us that our PRIVATE LEADS are the most valuable part of our service

CULTURE

We interpret this sector very broadly. CULTURE includes every kind of museum you can imagine from small historic houses to large history, science or children's museums, nature centers, and everything in between; performing arts centers, theaters, art galleries, libraries, courthouses, city halls, churches, community centres, recreation centres, convention centers, conference centers, streetscapes, public spaces, waterfronts, riverfronts, urban planning etc.

EDUCATION

We cover all levels of EDUCATION from pre-school to university.

ATTRACTIONS

We cover all attractions including, visitor centers, gardens, arboretums, botanical gardens, parks, zoos, aquaria, planetaria, water play parks, casinos, sports stadiums, arenas, theme parks and hotels and resorts associated with these destinations, pavilions, expos, sports, entertainment, special events, expos, Olympics, etc.

NEWS

We also have a third strand of market intelligence we call NEWS. We don't actually search for NEWS, but we can't avoid it in the course of our daily research. If we feel the story would be of interest to our clientele, we add it to the NEWS strand. It is worth noting that some NEWS stories are sometimes LEADS as well. For example, if the story was: "New children's museum breaks ground in Seattle" some of our clients would also see this as a LEAD. Architects would not see this as a LEAD. Exhibit designers, fabricators and multimedia firms would. So, it rather depends on where you are within the food chain.
