Document background
The Request For Proposal Tender document is a critical instrument in Belgian public procurement processes, used when organizations need to procure complex goods, services, or works through a formal competitive process. It is particularly relevant when the contracting authority requires detailed technical and financial proposals from potential suppliers. This document type must comply with the Belgian Public Procurement Act 2016 and related EU directives, incorporating specific requirements for transparency, fair competition, and equal treatment of bidders. The RFP Tender includes comprehensive information about technical specifications, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, and contractual terms, while ensuring alignment with Belgian administrative law and EU procurement thresholds. It is typically used for high-value or complex procurements where price is not the only determining factor, and where the contracting authority needs to evaluate proposals based on multiple criteria including technical merit, methodology, and value for money.
