Document background
The Request For Qualifications And Request For Proposal document is a crucial procurement instrument used in Switzerland when organizations need to conduct a thorough, two-stage selection process for significant projects or contracts. It combines pre-qualification of potential suppliers with detailed proposal requirements, allowing for efficient evaluation while ensuring compliance with Swiss federal and cantonal procurement laws, including the Federal Act on Public Procurement and relevant international agreements. This document type is particularly valuable for complex projects where the procuring entity needs to first establish a pool of qualified suppliers before investing resources in evaluating detailed proposals. The structure accommodates Switzerland's multi-lingual requirements and incorporates necessary transparency and fairness provisions required by Swiss law.
