who's bullying anyone
you put out a proposal for the service or product you want with the Terms and conditions you desire and send it out for bid. those with an interest in those terms will respond. You may get some counter proposals which Marriott could accept and negotiate or if someone else with the capability of providing the service accepts your terms then you can go with them
there is absoulutely no bullying of vendors at all; by setting these t&c's up front in the RFP you are acting like a partnership right from the start
if you can't get any responses to your rfp, then you amend it or do the proper research up front, pretty simple
