7.4  RFP Briefing

Guidance note: It is common practice for the State to conduct an RFP Briefing shortly after release of the RFP. This can be a single briefing with all Respondents as a collective or alternatively, held with each Respondent individually.

Whilst the intent of the RFP Briefing should be to outline content and the intent of the RFP documentation, the RFP Briefing should also emphasise key messages and address key project specific issues. It is also an opportunity to align State and Respondent expectations for the ITP and to cover the processes and the probity framework that will govern the ITP.

The State will conduct an RFP Briefing on [insert date] at [insert location]. The intent of the RFP Briefing is to:

•  align State and Respondent expectations for the Project;

•  ensure the RFP material and layout is clearly understood by each Respondent; and

•  cover the processes and the probity framework that will govern the RFP and ITP.
