RFP & Site Planning
Feature in ComputeComplete
Create RFPs, evaluate sites, configure power and connectivity requirements.
Overview
RFP & Site Planning is the starting point for data center projects. Create RFPs (requests for proposal) to evaluate sites, configure power and connectivity requirements, and select a site for deployment.
RFPs define what you need: power capacity, connectivity, location, timeline, and other criteria. Vendors from the Vendor Network receive RFP notifications and can submit responses.
Site planning ties selected sites to projects. Configure power and connectivity at the site level to feed into BOMs and deployment workflows.
How to Use
- Create a new RFP from the Plan phase. Define power requirements (MW, kW), connectivity needs, location preferences, and timeline.
- Publish the RFP. Vendors in the Vendor Network with matching offerings receive notifications and can submit responses.
- Evaluate responses. Compare sites on power, connectivity, cost, and timeline. Select a site to create a project.
- Configure the selected site: add power and connectivity details. This configuration feeds into the Deploy phase BOM and construction coordination.
