Document background
The Design Request for Proposal is a crucial document in the Malaysian business and construction landscape, used when organizations need to procure professional design services through a structured competitive process. It is particularly relevant when projects require specialized design expertise, whether in architecture, engineering, or other design disciplines. The document must comply with Malaysian procurement laws and regulations, including the Government Contracts Act 1949 for public sector projects, and incorporate relevant design and intellectual property protection under the Industrial Designs Act 1996. A Design RFP typically includes detailed project requirements, evaluation criteria, submission guidelines, and draft contract terms, serving as the foundation for selecting the most qualified design service provider while ensuring transparency and fair competition in accordance with Malaysian law.
