Document background
The Project Proposal Request is a fundamental procurement document used in New Zealand when organizations need to formally solicit detailed proposals for significant projects or initiatives. It is typically employed when there is a need for comprehensive project planning, competitive supplier selection, and formal evaluation processes. The document must comply with New Zealand contract law, particularly the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, and often incorporates elements of public sector procurement guidelines when used by government entities. It includes detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, and terms and conditions, serving as the foundation for subsequent contract negotiations. This document is particularly crucial for high-value or complex projects where multiple suppliers need to be evaluated systematically.
