Document background
The Formal Request for Proposal (RFP) is a critical procurement document used in Belgium when organizations need to procure complex goods, services, or works through a structured competitive process. It is particularly relevant when the procurement value exceeds EU thresholds or when transparency and formal procedures are required by law or organizational policy. The document must comply with Belgian procurement law, including the Public Procurement Law of 17 June 2016 and relevant EU directives. It is designed to ensure fair competition, transparency, and equal treatment of all potential bidders. The RFP includes detailed technical specifications, evaluation methodology, legal requirements, and contractual terms, making it suitable for complex procurement projects where detailed proposals and competitive evaluation are necessary.
