Document background
The Request For Proposal Tender document is a critical procurement instrument used in Switzerland when organizations need to procure complex goods, services, or works through a competitive bidding process. It is particularly relevant for procurements above certain thresholds specified in Swiss procurement law and is designed to ensure compliance with both federal and cantonal procurement regulations. The document typically includes detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, and contractual terms, serving as the foundation for supplier selection and subsequent contract formation. Used extensively in both public and private sectors, it helps ensure transparency, equal treatment of bidders, and best value for money while adhering to Swiss legal requirements and international procurement standards.
