# Group RFP and Contract Management

Last updated September 1, 2026

At a glance

Engine’s Groups team handles sourcing, negotiation, booking, and management for group programs, with RFP and Contract Management as part of Group Fulfillment.

## How it works

For a qualifying group request, Engine’s Groups team supports hotel sourcing, negotiation, booking, and ongoing management. RFP and Contract Management sits within Group Fulfillment and provides a managed commercial process around a room block or event: the Groups team coordinates how hotels receive requests, how bids are compared, and how agreements are finalized for each program. Contract-specific terms remain the controlling source for each group program.

## Who it is for and how to use it

It is for organizers whose group hotel or event needs require supplier outreach and negotiated terms rather than a self-serve reservation. Submit dates, destinations, room or space needs, and operational requirements; define decision criteria such as total cost, cancellation, attrition, concessions, and payment; and have the responsible stakeholders review the agreement before signing.
