Document background
The Engineering Request For Proposal (RFP) is a critical procurement document used in Ireland when organizations need to solicit detailed proposals for engineering projects or services. It is particularly relevant for both public and private sector projects where formal competitive tendering is required. The document must comply with Irish law and, where applicable, EU procurement directives, especially for public sector contracts above certain thresholds. It typically includes comprehensive technical specifications, evaluation criteria, legal requirements, and commercial terms. This document type is essential for ensuring transparency, fair competition, and value for money in engineering procurement, while also maintaining compliance with Irish construction regulations, health and safety standards, and environmental requirements.
