In this course we examine the Request for Proposal process and explore in-depth the new Laws of Competitive Bidding covering the RFP process. We cover the basis of these changes in law, the new legal duties of the owner who issues the RFP and the corresponding obligations upon bidders. Following this, we look at several topics and issues of a practical nature with respect to RFPs. Throughout, we will review numerous case summaries and legal issue notes covering topics relevant to RFPs.
All participants will receive
a detailed and comprehensive set of course materials and case summaries.
