OK, so now–after months–who won the big RFPs and (near and dear) what about the 9 major banking deals?

if you dont have the RFP’s yet how do you even think you have a shot at winning them. An RFP is specd for a specific company 90% of the time- why would you want to come in late and waste your time replying to something you did not even know was happening. Feel free to though because it helps us continue to find other opportunities

How do we get connected to those RFPs?

Adrian,

We as a small development company do get asked to tender like this on a regular basis.

Indeed you do have to know where to look and we do lose out becuase of our size rather than technical ability.

They are out there, but not everyone can talk about them afterwards due to commercial restrictions, and why would anyone want to make it public knowledge other than through already agreed channels.

Adrian,

I concure with the above comments as well. However, being a manufactrure of wireless streaming indoor/outdoor solutions, we need to elevate the wireless business and exposure to these large projects for which I can not seem to find. Please help America stay strong and fill me in on the 6 deals.
I believe it is public knowledge.

I look forward to your reply.

By all means, share the info! A general search hasn’t netted the 6 well-funded RFPs you describe. After my booth debuts at a trade show this week in my market, I’ll know more about the health of the economy, but yes, I am optimistic that our market has seen its worst days and better ones are here soon.

Not 24 by any means but YES 1 or 2 of this size per month is the norm!!! As several folks have mentioned not all come to fruition, not all are serious but with these 6 are, we believe, all serious annd all well funded

Adrian,

have you really seen as many as 24 RFPs > 3,000 sites in the past year?
can you publish their names? As your previous blogger mentioned, we do see activity, but we don’t really hear any deals like that being completed.

Well Adrian,

we see a lot of RFPs for very large projects without any following after submitting, projects canceled or postponed (who knows) or sometime the client do the RFP just to get solutions and pricing but there isn’t any real project behind.
