Ask them how they intend to do it, how long is it going to take, and will it affect service, they should really know how to do this, and outline what software they use, and also how it's going to be performed.

do you already have the virtual platform ?

thanks for the details one more question for RFP - we have all the physical machine running Microsoft OS  . is it better to strict to Microsoft only ? or both  ( VM and Microsoft )
Do you mean VM = VMware ?

whichever meets your requirements and budget
Assuming we are talking about HyperV vs VMWare, direct comparison is difficult.  At the low end, HyperV is the better deal.  But as complexity increases, it is harder to generalize.

Here is a great article that explains comparative costs.
