BidReady · Free guide
A final RFP review should answer one question: what exactly has to be submitted, when, how, and under what conditions? A useful review is a requirement-by-requirement pass against the solicitation itself.
Write down the stated submission date, exact time, and time zone. If the solicitation specifies a portal cutoff or delivery rule, record that too.
Extract every required form, attachment, schedule, signature, affidavit, certification, and pricing document. Separate requirements that are mandatory from documents described as optional or informational.
Look for addenda, amendments, revisions, and acknowledgement requirements. Make sure the response reflects the latest version available to bidders.
Record coverage types and limits, certificate wording, bond percentages, surety requirements, and when evidence must be delivered.
Identify pre-bid meetings, conferences, walkthroughs, and site visits. Determine whether attendance is mandatory and record the date, time, and location.
Confirm the portal or delivery address, allowed file types, naming rules, number of copies, signatures, packaging, and cutoff time.
Before submission, compare your completed checklist with the original solicitation and the latest addenda. Automated extraction can organize the document, but the bidder remains responsible for verifying the source requirements.
