In addition, you should provide your most aggressive pricing related to the various components of this RFP. It is the intent of ABC to use this pricing both as a key element in the ultimate decision regarding the selection of a supplier, as well as a part of the determination of the budget for the project. In each case in which a specific configuration (of hardware, software, network, etc.) is provided, you should quote a price for the defined configuration only. While you may recommend, and we may ultimately end-up with, a configuration substantially different than what is defined within this document, we want to achieve a specific “apples to apples” comparison of pricing. This will help us to insure that every organization is judged against exactly the same set of criteria. Bid Evaluation and Negotiation
Evaluation Criteria
This request for proposal is designed to provide ABC with the ability to make as determination of which potential supplier will best satisfy the requirements of ABC as possible. Each supplier will be evaluated against exactly the same set of criteria, and will be provided a “score” for each category in the evaluation. The categories associated with the evaluation are listed below.
