The Problem

Hotel sourcing breaks
across inboxes, spreadsheets and PDFs

Most teams do not have a sourcing workflow problem. They have a coordination problem. Requests go out in different formats, replies come back incomplete, and commercial decisions slow down with every stakeholder involved.

15-20 hours per event

Emailing hotels one by one, chasing replies, reformatting requirements for each property. At €50/hour, that is €1,000 in lost time per event. See the breakdown →

No professional hotel RFP

Most SMEs send informal emails with missing details. Hotels deprioritize them. Response rates below 40% are common. and the proposals that do come back are incomparable.

Leaving money on the table

Without knowing what to ask for, planners accept the first rate, miss comp rooms, and sign bad attrition clauses. A professional RFP typically saves 15–25% on total event cost.

About Easy RFP

What is Easy RFP?

Easy RFP is an AI-powered hotel sourcing platform built for European SME event planners. It automates the process of creating, sending, and comparing hotel Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for corporate events, conferences, and team offsites. Instead of emailing hotels individually and comparing proposals in spreadsheets, planners describe their event once, and the AI generates a professional RFP, sends it to matching hotels from a curated European database, and presents all responses in a standardised side-by-side comparison with AI scoring.

Easy RFP is designed for companies that organise 2-10 events per year and need a professional venue sourcing tool without enterprise complexity or pricing. It covers 40+ cities across the UK, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Nordics.

How It Works

in three clear stages

A guided sourcing flow. No training needed: if you can fill in a form, you can use Easy RFP.

Describe your event

Tell us the basics: dates, location, number of attendees, meeting space needs, and budget range. Takes 3 minutes.

AI builds your hotel RFP

Claude AI generates a professional, negotiation-ready hotel RFP with the right concessions, attrition clauses, and evaluation criteria already built in.

Compare proposals & choose

Hotels respond directly to your RFP. We normalise their proposals side-by-side and score them with AI, so you can choose in minutes. not hours.

Who it is for

Designed for smaller teams
that need enterprise-grade clarity

Built for planners who source 2 to 10 hotel events per year and cannot afford messy procurement workflows.

Office Managers & EAs

You organise team offsites and leadership retreats on top of your day job. You need something that gets proposals fast. without becoming an expert in hotel procurement.

HR & People Ops

Retreats, training days, all-hands. You plan 4–8 events a year and need to compare hotels across cities without spending a week on each one.

Corporate Event Planners

Event planning is your job, but enterprise tools are overkill for your team size. You need a professional RFP tool that matches your expertise. at a price that makes sense for an SME.

★★★★★

"I used to send the same hotel brief by email seven times in seven different formats. Now I fill the form once and proposals come back already comparable. Last quarter's offsite went from a two-week scramble to a four-day decision."

"The side-by-side compare actually made our finance director happy. He could see attrition clauses, F&B minimums and total programme cost in one screen. We negotiated 11% off the winning proposal because we had visibility on alternatives."

"I evaluated Cvent, Stova and Bizly before finding Easy RFP. The first two were quoting enterprise-tier pricing for a team my size. Bizly was US-centric — none of the European hotels I needed. Easy RFP just worked. Sent three RFPs in the first week."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hotel sourcing, RFPs, and venue booking for corporate events.

What is a hotel RFP and why do event planners need one?

A hotel RFP (Request for Proposal) is a formal document sent to hotels specifying your event requirements. dates, attendees, room block size, meeting room needs, catering minimums, AV requirements, and budget. Sending a professional RFP instead of an informal email enquiry improves hotel response rates from under 40% to 70-80% and typically saves 15-25% on total event costs through stronger negotiation positioning on comp rooms, attrition clauses, and F&B concessions.

How do I book meeting rooms and conference venues at hotels?

Traditionally, booking hotel meeting rooms and conference venues involves emailing hotels individually, waiting days for responses, then comparing proposals in spreadsheets. Easy RFP automates this entire process: describe your meeting room requirements (capacity, layout, AV needs, catering), and the AI generates a professional RFP sent to matching hotels from our database of 4,300+ MICE-capable European venues. Hotels respond within 24-48 hours with comparable proposals you can review side-by-side.

How is Easy RFP different from other venue sourcing tools?

Easy RFP is purpose-built for SME event planners organising 2-10 events per year, not enterprise procurement teams. Enterprise platforms like Cvent and Stova use enterprise-tier pricing not published by the vendor (see G2/Capterra public reviews); both weeks of setup. Affordable alternatives tend to be US-centric with limited European hotel coverage. Easy RFP is free, takes under 5 minutes for your first RFP, needs zero training, and is specifically built for European hotel sourcing with 4,300+ MICE venues indexed across 40+ cities.

How long does it take to send a hotel proposal request?

Under 5 minutes from start to send. Describe your event (dates, location, attendee count, space requirements, budget range), the AI generates a complete professional hotel RFP, you select matching hotels from the curated database, and send. Compare that to the industry average of 15-20 hours of manual work per event using email templates, phone calls, and spreadsheets.

Which hotels and event venues are in the Easy RFP database?

4,300+ MICE-capable European hotels suitable for corporate events, conferences, and team offsites. Coverage includes London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Lisbon. The database includes international chains, regional groups, and independent conference hotels and boutique venues, all selected for meeting space availability, response rates, and track record with SME clients.

What types of corporate events and offsites can I use Easy RFP for?

Easy RFP works for any business event requiring hotel meeting space or accommodation: team offsites and away days, leadership retreats, sales kick-offs, annual all-hands meetings, training seminars, board meetings, client entertainment, product launches, and multi-day conferences. Designed for groups of 20-500 attendees at companies that organise 2-10 events per year.

Can Easy RFP help me negotiate better hotel rates and group bookings?

Yes. The AI-generated RFPs include pre-filled negotiation anchors that experienced hotel buyers always request: complimentary room ratios, attrition clause structures, F&B minimum concessions, meeting room rental waivers, and value-add items like free Wi-Fi or AV. Most SME planners who switch from informal email enquiries to structured RFPs save 15-25% on total event costs. including room block rates, meeting room hire, and catering.

Is Easy RFP free? What does hotel sourcing software cost?

Free forever for 1 RFP/month with 5 hotels/RFP, top 3 AI scoring, manual proposal entry, and email support. Pro at €45/mo unlocks 10 RFPs, 15 hotels, full AI scoring, side-by-side compare, and PDF/CSV export. Team at €175/mo adds unlimited RFPs, 25 hotels, 5 seats, BAFO rounds, multilingual outreach, and annual spend report. Stripe checkout is LIVE — annual billing saves 29% (Pro €32/mo effective, Team €124/mo effective). For context: enterprise venue sourcing platforms start at €2,800/year and venue-finding agencies charge 10-15% commission per booking. Reach the team at contact@easyhotelrfp.com.

How do I compare hotel proposals and conference venue quotes?

Easy RFP surfaces all hotel responses in a standardised side-by-side comparison view. The AI scores each proposal on price, value, location fit, and contract terms. highlighting which hotel offers the best overall deal for your specific event. No more manually copying rates into spreadsheets or trying to compare proposals with different formats and line items.

Why offer a Free plan instead of charging from day one?

The product ships new features each week. The Free plan covers one full sourcing event per month so planners can validate the workflow on a real RFP before committing to Pro or Team. Pricing changes will be communicated well in advance — existing accounts will not be surprised by a sudden bill.
