Document background
The Request for Proposal Contract is a critical procurement instrument used in Belgian business and public sector contexts when organizations seek to obtain competitive proposals for complex goods, services, or works. This document type is particularly relevant when the procurement requires a combination of technical expertise, cost consideration, and innovative solutions. The RFP Contract must comply with Belgian procurement law, including the Law of 17 June 2016 on Public Procurement and relevant EU directives, making it especially important for public sector procurement but also widely used in private sector contexts. It typically includes detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, and terms and conditions that will govern the eventual contract relationship. The document serves multiple purposes: it ensures fair competition, provides a clear framework for proposal evaluation, and forms the basis for the subsequent contract with the successful bidder.
