Document background
A Request For Proposal For Architectural And Engineering Services is a crucial procurement document used in Belgium when seeking professional design and engineering services for construction projects. It is commonly used by both public and private sector entities when procuring services valued above certain thresholds set by Belgian procurement law. The document must comply with Belgian federal and regional regulations, as well as EU procurement directives. It typically includes detailed project specifications, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, and contractual terms, while ensuring compliance with Belgian professional practice requirements for architects and engineers. The RFP must address specific Belgian legal requirements such as mandatory professional insurance, liability provisions, and language requirements depending on the region (French, Dutch, or German). This document type is particularly important for ensuring transparency and fair competition in the procurement of professional services while meeting all regulatory and professional standards.
