Mar 27: Technical Proposals
While technical proposals are not required in conducting a competitively negotiated procurement, many agencies use them as a standard part of the procedure. However, they increase the costs incurred by companies in competing for the procurement, as well as the cost and time required for agencies to evaluate their merits. We will discuss the various uses of technical proposals and the pros and cons regarding their use. We will encourage participants to give us their views on this practice.
