Q: When will the RFP be released/distributed? A: Setting the schedule for the procurement is the last item to be done when preparing the RFP (this ensures that the schedule does not "slip" and have to be re-determined if deadlines are not met). When the RFP document (specifications and terms & conditions) is finalized, the Director of Purchasing and the user department's technical expert meet and set the schedule. Therefore, there is no "set schedule" until that time. When the RFP document is completed: 1) It is immediately posted to the website in PDF/Word format, 2) A "blast" EMail is sent to all vendors who are on the Bidder List [only those who have provided Purchasing with their EMail address], and 3) A hard-copy is mailed to all vendors who are on the Bidders List |
