4.3.  Request for Proposals Phase

The RFP phase involves the call for detailed proposals from shortlisted bidders and the evaluation of submissions to select a preferred bidder. The process set out in Volume 3 and 7 of the National Guidelines should be followed for commercial principles underpinning the draft contract. Where the National Guidelines provide flexibility, or where departures are warranted, such variations of the commercial principles need to be approved by NSW Treasury.
