Document background
The Procurement Request For Proposal (RFP) is a critical document used in Belgian procurement processes to solicit detailed proposals from potential suppliers or service providers. It is particularly relevant when organizations need to make significant purchases or engage services through a formal, competitive process. This document type is governed by Belgian procurement law, including the Law of 17 June 2016 and related Royal Decrees, which implement EU procurement directives. The RFP must include specific mandatory elements such as technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements, while ensuring transparency and fair competition. It is commonly used by both public and private sector organizations for complex purchases where price is not the only consideration, and where detailed technical or service specifications need to be evaluated.
