In addition, the Supply Chain Contract Team is tasked with enterprise wide bid coordination. We will track, identify, and develop Requests for Proposals (RFP) for professional / consultant and administrative services required for the campus. The RFP method is used to aid departments when vendor services, capabilities, and past performance and/or history are measurable elements in addition to cost factor. This method can be more beneficial that using only cost to award to “low bidder” as the criteria.
