Document background
The Public Request for Proposal (RFP) is a crucial document in Danish public procurement processes, used when public authorities seek to purchase goods, services, or works above certain threshold values. It must strictly comply with the Danish Public Procurement Act (Udbudsloven) and EU procurement directives, which mandate transparent and competitive procurement procedures. This document type is essential for ensuring fair competition, optimal use of public funds, and equal treatment of potential suppliers. The RFP includes comprehensive information about technical requirements, evaluation criteria, submission procedures, and contractual terms, while incorporating specific Danish legal requirements such as environmental considerations and social criteria where applicable. It serves as the foundation for the entire procurement process and the subsequent contract, making it a critical document for both public authorities and potential suppliers.
