Should https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_for_bid , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_for_bids , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_quotation , and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_proposal be merged, with a section in which the differences between them are explained? One good article might be better than four less developed ones. Davidlark (talk) 18:54, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
I think that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_for_bid , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_for_bids and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_tender should be merged in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_for_bids . "Call for bids" gives 369 000 Google results, whilst "Invitation for bid" gives only 345 000.
In addition, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendering is redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procurement, and it ought to be redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_for_bids
But https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_quotation , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_proposal and other pages on this type of requests should be left alone, because they are different methods which can be used within a call for bids. It is important that the articles on these particular methods to be short, because this allows to spot the differences more easily. --Alvarosinde (talk) 11:38, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
