The Selection Committee is the main decision authority for the transaction. Its role includes:
• Approval of the shortlist based on the evaluation of RFQ submissions.
• Approval of the Project Agreement to be executed with the Preferred Proponent.
At the RFQ stage, the Selection Committee participates directly in the evaluation of submissions received. The Selection Committee shortlists the Respondents based on pre-established criteria, using:
• Review of results and synopses from detailed evaluation by the Evaluation Teams.
• Review of the preliminary scoring by the Evaluation Teams.
• Additional research or clarification to be performed by the Evaluation Teams as requested by the Selection Committee.
• Direct review of submission material, clarification questions and answers with Respondents, and other material received and developed during the evaluation process, as necessary.
• Interviews with Respondents, if deemed necessary.
The Selection Committee decisions will be documented and members must sign off on these decisions.
At the RFP stage, the Selection Committee reviews and approves evaluation results of the Evaluation Teams at various stages of the RFP process. The Selection Committee verifies that the Preferred Proponent offers value for money in accordance with the business case and approves award of the Agreement provided the proposal falls within the price range determined by the public sector comparator and set out in the business case.
