Platform Overview
Why RFP
Conferences fill your calendar. RFP fills your pipeline.
The gamedev services market runs on personal networks, conference handshakes, and unstructured outreach. RFP Gaming replaces that with a transparent, structured request layer.
Every new partnership starts with uncertainty.
Teams rely on personal networks, referrals, conference meetings, and fragmented outreach. Evaluating fit often requires significant time before meaningful conversations can begin
Access to partners is shaped by visibility, not capability
Many sourcing decisions begin within familiar networks, conference circles, and existing vendor lists. This creates limited visibility into qualified studios operating outside major industry hubs
Stop redlining NDAs just to check basic alignment
Finding out if a studio has the availability, budget alignment, and right team shouldn’t require friction. RFP Gaming lets you drop a request and get vendors shortlisted .
How it works
A live deal layer for the games industry.
Post a Ticket
Post in a brief, or define requirements. Publish to the open board or use Stealth Mode to stay anonymous until you choose to reveal.
Receive Structured Bids
Verified studios respond with a pitch line. Timelines, cost ranges, team profiles, and relevant work can be included. Track real-time replies and compare side by side.
Shortlist & Negotiate
Review bids. Move conversations off-platform at any point for NDAs, security reviews, or custom legal workflows. No lock-in. You follow your procurement guidelines.
Close Deals & Build Reputation
Both parties are welcome to share testimonials and collaboration feedback. Reputation accumulates with every closed contract.

Every tool the gamedev B2B market has been missing.
Public Ticket Board
Post structured requests. Get comparable bids from verified studios. Stop starting every negotiation from zero.
CoreDirect Invite
Buyers can invite specific studios they are interested in to get their bid proposals. Invited studios can bid on tickets visible only for them.
Reputation Layer
After a deal closes, both sides can leave their feedback and testimonials, building reputation and trust tied to the studio profile.
Data Protection
Buyers can conceal their company name, project details, and IP until they choose to reveal them. Built for unannounced titles and NDA-sensitive sourcing.
SecurityStudio Search
Filter the studio directory by engine, stack, region, team size, and capability. Results show verified badges and deal feedback.
Projects & Portfolios
Studios list portfolio items and project files. Publishers can browse production-ready talent without initiating contact first.
Bid Credit System
Studios spend credits to submit bids. This filters responses to studios with genuine intent and reduces low-effort submissions before buyers review them.
Off-Platform Handoff
Any deal can move off-platform at any stage. NDAs, security reviews, and custom legal workflows happen outside the platform with no restrictions.
Capacity Board
Studios publish their open capacity — disciplines, team size, and start date. Buyers browse availability and approach directly with an offer, without an RFP being posted.

Contact Us →Anytime. RFP is the discovery and bidding layer. Once you have found the right partner, run your own NDAs, security reviews, and contracts wherever you prefer. RFP is never a party to your external contracts.
No. RFP operates strictly as a subscription platform. We never charge success commissions, transaction fees, or contract percentages. What you negotiate is entirely yours to keep.
The initial listing (name, website, region) comes from public industry sources; profile details are compiled primarily from the company’s own website. Listing companies this way lets buyers discover qualified studios across the whole ecosystem, not just the ones already in their network. You can claim your profile for free to modify your information or request complete removal at any time.
Through Anonymous Request Posting, also known as Stealth Mode. This feature completely hides your brand assets, intellectual property, and sensitive metadata from the public board. You maintain full control over who gets clearance to view the full brief and when.
Yes. We prioritize operational liquidity by onboarding verified studios first, bringing publishers in through direct outreach, and launching with active, high-intent project requirements live on the board.
RFP reserves the right to vet registering entities for operational legitimacy before granting platform privileges. Furthermore, closed transactions can trigger a structured delivery scorecard. This builds a verified reputation layer tracking indicators like on- time delivery, revision rounds, and re-hire intent.
Manual DMs do not scale and they do not allow for clean comparison. Posting a structured ticket aggregates market demand to give you side-by-side comparable bids and natural pricing tension. If your project is unannounced, you can achieve the same competitive results privately using a Stealth listing.
Traditional directories are static corporate indexes that people only look at around conference season. RFP is a live transaction layer and B2B marketplace engine. It converts passive visibility into active pipeline through real-time project requirements and structured bidding.
Yes. Our primary database and platform infrastructure reside on secure cloud environments within the European region. We extend identical compliance measures and data rights globally to protect personal and business data under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA frameworks.
