Document background
The Request For Proposals Government document is a critical instrument in Belgian public procurement processes, used when government entities seek to acquire complex goods, services, or works through competitive bidding. This document type is governed by the Belgian Law of 17 June 2016 on public procurement and its implementing Royal Decrees, along with EU Directive 2014/24/EU. It is particularly suitable for projects where technical specifications, quality standards, and evaluation criteria need detailed articulation. The RFP must accommodate Belgium's multilingual requirements and can be issued at federal, regional, or municipal levels. It typically includes comprehensive technical specifications, administrative requirements, evaluation methodologies, and standard contractual terms, while ensuring compliance with principles of transparency, equal treatment, and non-discrimination in public procurement.
