Because the purpose of a proposal is to describe the implementation of a project or the offering of a service or product in exchange for money, proposals can be solicited by a business or organization when they have work to be done or research and want to get the best work for the best price. A request for proposal (RFP) or statement of work (SOW) may be advertised by the soliciting organization inviting proposals for the work desired.
A request for qualifications (RFQ) or a notice of intent (NOI) is a document that a soliciting organization will send to individual organizations that describes the needed work in general terms. This offers the invitee to prepare for the opportunity. However, the RFQ or NOI could also be published for the general public (in newspapers, professional journals, websites, or through industry-related email distribution lists). The responses submitted to an RFQ or a notice of intent are called letters of interest or intent. Based on the letters of interest it receives, the soliciting organization will develop full descriptions of the work desired (RFPs/SOWs) for the groups it believes have the appropriate qualifications.
Another situation that may drive the creation of a proposal is when academic institutions make funds available to their faculty on a competitive basis to support research projects. The academic institution may solicit a proposal regarding the research project by the faculty who are completing for the research funds.
