The bid requirements checklist

Every requirement has an owner and a status.

This checklist, also called a requirements matrix, records what the owner asks for, who provides it and whether it is ready.

  1. Confirm which addenda were received.

  2. Approve all qualifications and references.

  3. Confirm price, exceptions and the authorized signer.

  4. Check the submission method and deadline in the original RFP.
