Hey war roomies,
I'm working on an RFP that was supposed to be finaliezd by end of last year. In December the client told us that they have to reclarify the ownership and that they can't give us a concrete timeline for that.
Since then we regularly received updates from different stakeholders stating that the internal discussions are still ongoing.
Originally I was assuming that we were the preferred vendor, as we have some history in the account, received positive feedback, and some statements I interpretated as hints.
Official communication of the RFP winner only happens after they clarified the open topic internally.
I see a risk of them currently negotiating with one of our competitors. But every attempt to engage in a converstation, results in them stating that they need some more time for the internal discussion.
Any advice on how to interpret this situation and what actions to take / not to take?
