Plunder Scenario 31
You're issuing an RFP for group home providers that historically has hundreds of offers. Your preference is to require submittals be made virtually, however the end user insists that 5 hard copies each be submitted for evaluation. What do you do?
AP Response:
The procurement officer proceeded as directed and ended up with an office overwhelmed by boxes—it was a complete mess. From that experience, we learned a valuable lesson: always require virtual submissions, regardless of the situation, and allow panel members to print only what they need. No exceptions, no debate.
