Document background
The Request For Proposal With Dialogue is a specialized procurement instrument used in Pakistan when standard RFP processes are insufficient due to the complexity or innovative nature of the required goods, services, or works. This document type is particularly valuable when the procuring entity needs to engage in detailed technical or commercial discussions with potential suppliers to refine requirements and solutions. It follows the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) guidelines while incorporating specific provisions for structured dialogue phases. The document is commonly used for large-scale public sector projects, complex technological implementations, or specialized services where requirements need to be developed collaboratively. It includes comprehensive sections covering technical specifications, evaluation criteria, dialogue procedures, and legal requirements, ensuring compliance with Pakistani procurement laws while promoting innovation and value for money.
