Document background
The Evaluation Request For Proposal document is a critical instrument in Irish procurement processes, used when organizations need to establish a structured and transparent framework for evaluating supplier proposals. It is particularly relevant for high-value or complex procurement activities where objective assessment criteria are essential. The document must comply with Irish procurement law and, where applicable, EU procurement directives, especially for public sector procurement above certain thresholds. It typically includes detailed evaluation methodologies, scoring criteria, compliance requirements, and governance procedures to ensure fair and objective assessment of all submissions. This document type is fundamental in ensuring that the evaluation process is defensible, transparent, and aligned with procurement best practices while maintaining compliance with Irish legal requirements.
