4.3.1.  Submission Requirements

Generally, the RFP documentation will identify the parameters and requirements of the RFP submission to which the private sector must conform to be deemed a complying proposal. Requirements may be mandatory (i.e. no variations will be allowed) or may allow departures to be considered and will still result in the bid being considered as a complying proposal.

The treatment of non-complying proposals will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the project's Evaluation Panel, consistent with the RFP requirements.
