Document background
The Vendor Request For Proposal (RFP) is a critical procurement document used when organizations need to formally solicit detailed proposals from potential suppliers or service providers. This document type is particularly important in the Danish market, where procurement processes must comply with both national legislation and EU directives. It is typically used for complex purchases or services where price is not the only consideration, and where detailed technical, commercial, and legal requirements need to be communicated to potential vendors. The RFP enables structured evaluation of proposals through standardized response formats and clear evaluation criteria, ensuring transparency and fairness in the selection process. It should be used when the estimated contract value exceeds certain thresholds, when multiple vendors need to be considered, or when the procurement complexity requires detailed vendor responses for proper evaluation.
