    2. Precise shaping of the request for proposal documents

    To ensure different suppliers are proposing their support at a comparable way, we describe the scope of the service including requirements, conditions and arrangements.

    3. Running the bidding process, shortlisting and selecting the winner

    The process includes inviting the bidders, sending the bidding request documents and running bidding negotiations eventually leading to the selection of the winner. Several bidding rounds lead to lower prices.
