I am working on putting together an RFP to send to prospective Managed Service Providers. I have been looking for a good template for the RFP but have been unable to find one that fits the purpose. Does anyone have a template they love and are willing to share? I'm hoping to send out the RFP by the end of November. Thanks!

https://nvcogct.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/NVCOG-_MSP_RFP_April-8-2022.pdf this is a decent not too big sample one. Should give you a better idea and starting point. As an MSSP ourselves we would really like to know as much of the environment, scope and expectations on SLO/SLAs. Whenever you publish it let me know we would love to submit a proposal!
