SLA language that matches the contract
Response time, resolution time, and availability are different commitments. Check support windows, exclusions, and measurement methods before approving a number.
SavixRFP for IT Services
RFP response software for IT services teams
Draft managed services and IT project bids from your service catalog, SLAs, and delivery plans. Reuse approved answers while checking the support hours, staffing, and exclusions for each bid.
Keep service commitments consistent across the proposal
Staffing and delivery responsibility
Describe roles, handoffs, and coverage using approved delivery plans. Do not imply named personnel or geographic coverage that has not been agreed.
Transition and ongoing operations
Separate onboarding activities from steady-state service. Answer the buyer's transition milestones and dependencies rather than recycling a general implementation paragraph.
Draft from the service you are actually proposing
- Service catalog and scope descriptions
- Support policies and SLA schedules
- Delivery and transition playbooks
- Approved capability and reference summaries
A response your reviewers can work with
Illustrative buyer question
Describe your incident response times, escalation process, and service coverage.
Start with: The proposed service's SLA schedule, support-hours policy, severity definitions, and approved escalation procedure.
A useful answer separates acknowledgement, response, and resolution. It states which hours and incident severities the commitment covers and identifies customer dependencies and exclusions.
The service owner compares the narrative with the contract schedule. The commercial owner checks that any extended coverage is included in the proposed scope and price. An attractive service-level number is useful only when the team can deliver it.
Use the practical guide and templateAsk delivery and commercial owners to approve staffing, service levels, dependencies, and exclusions before the response leaves your team.
Data and security questionsA practical evaluation scenario
Build your IT Services evaluation
- 01 · Prepare the evidence
- A sample service questionnaire, the proposed SLA, and support policies for two different service tiers.
- 02 · Test a difficult question
- Request 24/7 coverage and a resolution commitment when the proposed tier defines only business-hours response targets.
- 03 · Check the result
- The draft separates response from resolution, preserves the support window, and flags additional commitments for service and commercial owners.

Can we reuse responses across managed services bids?
Yes, as a starting point. Review each answer against the specific service scope, support hours, regions, responsibilities, and pricing model in the new bid.
