All proposals will be examined in accordance with the following process:
Step 1: Confirmation of Compliance to the Mandatory Requirements
For each of Stream 1 and Stream 2, Technical Offers will be reviewed for compliance with the Mandatory Requirements described in Schedule “C” (Technical Offer Requirements and Evaluation) of the RFP to confirm that the information, statements and supporting material in the bidder’s Technical Offer substantiate a compliant response.
