Marketing Services RFQ Template
Running an RFQ for marketing services without a category-tuned template usually ends in three suppliers answering three different questions. This page gives you a template built specifically for marketing services, so every quote lands on the same grid and comparison is trivial.
Agency and marketing services are opaque by default — rate cards, media commissions and pass-throughs create the biggest leakage in indirect spend. That's why the template pre-loads the fields buyers most often forget — and forces suppliers to answer them.
Blended day-rates hide senior-heavy staffing and rebates on media spend rarely reach the buyer. SourcingHub's AI generates the RFQ document, sends it, and — when quotes come back — normalizes them into a side-by-side comparison automatically.
Fields every Marketing Services rfq template should cover
- Scope of work (deliverables, brand, geographies)
- Rate card by role (strategy, creative, PM, media)
- Estimated hours vs fixed price vs performance fee
- Media commission model (fee-based vs %)
- Pass-through markups and production costs
- IP ownership and exit / transition rights

For marketing services, 3–5 shortlisted suppliers is the sweet spot: enough to create real price tension without spending weeks normalizing outlier bids.
An RFQ locks the specification and asks for price on identical scope. An RFI gathers capability data; an RFP asks suppliers to propose their own approach. Use an RFQ once you know exactly what you need.
No. Each supplier receives a private link and only sees their own quote. When quotes come back, SourcingHub is where you compare them side by side.
