Updates and Addenda (RFP ASIR 2015+ only)
[This updates and addenda section last updated: 23 April 2015]
There are currently no addenda or other updates for RFP ASIR 2015+, however the following points noted from previous tenders and RFPs may be of interest to proposers:
RFP CLOSING:
Proposals cannot be submitted after the closing time.
Please ensure that your organisation has completed the response and submitted the response as per the instructions in the ‘How to Respond to RFP ASIR 2015+’ guide. We recommend that you finalise your submission well ahead of the closing time and allow time for contingencies in the submission process.
PROPOSAL AMENDMENT AND SUBMISSION
You may edit the various uploaded parts of your proposal in the Portal at any time prior to the closing time. Once your response is complete you then finally “submit” the proposal. After this final submission it is still possible to edit or update the proposal in the Portal, provided that any editing occurs before the closing time. If you do choose to amend your proposal after it has been finally “submitted”, you must ensure that the amended proposal goes through the final submission process again. More detail is provided in the instructions in the ‘How to Respond to RFP ASIR 2015+’ guide.
SINGLE TENDER RESPONSES:
A single proposal per organisation should be lodged for any single or multiple Services.
MEETING SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:
During tender and RFP processes NAFC has at times received enquiries whereby a potential Tenderer or Proposer is effectively asking for confirmation that their proposed approach will meet the requirements of particular section of the invitation documents or the clauses of the Specimen Contract. Generally it is not appropriate for NAFC to provide further information regarding potential compliance with individual sections of the invitation or request documents or clauses of the Specimen Contract and accordingly NAFC or Members will not confirm or comment on an individual organisation’s possible compliance. The processes are designed to provide an opportunity for all potential suppliers to demonstrate their individual approach to achieving or exceeding compliance with the various requirements – and in particular to demonstrate, where appropriate, their understanding of the requirements of the Specimen Contract, and their responsiveness and capacity for innovation.
