The Government Entity is highly encouraged to hold clarification meetings with Bidders during the interim period between the release of the RfP and the receipt of bids. The purpose of these meetings will be to clarify issues in the RfP that Bidders can discuss openly and to introduce Bidders to key representatives of the Government Entity. One-on-one meetings between the Government Entity and Bidders can also be organised, provided they are done so in advance, and that any non-proprietary clarification provided to a Bidder is shared with all Bidders, ensuring a level playing field.
