Request for Proposal Evaluation

This document endeavors to evaluate the request for proposal by requiring clarifications regarding the availed questions along with providing vital additional information that the RFP needs to be complete.  

Issues to be clarified regarding the request for proposal

What if the company is in the process of establishing a permanent office within the state and evidence is present could it be locked out?

Does the company have to be in business for about five years in the state or within the nation?

What is are the supposed ethical qualifications of the company?

What is the cost of the project to be undertaken?

What are the time scales of the project to be undertaken?

Areas that require Additional Information

First additional information could be if a firm previously worked for the agency and produced excellent results, does it have an added advantage towards being awarded the current contract. This information will be necessary in order for the other firms to be aware of the rating towards capturing the tender. The other additional information concerns the companies rating nationally regarding their popularity in developing security solutions (Asner, 25). The agency should provide information concerning the companies having a reputable performance for carrying out tenders for other states and the federal government whether they will added an upper hand in the selection.   The other additional information regards the equipment required to undertake the project, the agency require providing information of the minimum type of equipment required to be held by the company qualifying to be considered for the tendering process (Asner, 20).

In conclusion, I find that the RFP narrowly addresses general details regarding the companies’ qualifications. The agency should provide additional questions regarding the companies’ qualifications.
