We are pleased to provide advanced notice of upcoming Delaware Valley requests for proposals (RFPs) with pre-bid meetings.

Why provide advance notice of pre-bid meetings? Due to the nature of certain categories of RFPs, attendance at a pre-bid meeting is typically mandatory and may be held more than two weeks before the RFP due date. To ensure timely communication to DelEXCHANGE Suppliers, RFPs with pre-bid meetings are now identified within 24 to 72 hours of their receipt from DelEXCHANGE Buyer Organizations. Through this new process, DelEXCHANGE Suppliers can now be notified of RFPs with a pre-bid meeting up to two weeks before the RFPs are loaded into DelEXCHANGE's Master RFP database.

The DelEXCHANGE categories below contain RFPs with pre-bid meetings. If you are registered as a Level 3(III) DelEXCHANGE Supplier you can access all of these RFPs immediately by selecting "View Current Events" from your account.

If you are a small business advocate and you know of a small business serving the Delaware Valley that could benefit from this information, please forward this e-mail.

Below is a table containing the categories of new DelEXCHANGE Open Category RFPs with Pre- Bid Meetings.

Level 3(III) Suppliers now get the added benefit of seeing all RFPs with pre-bid meetings in all of the DelEXCHANGE categories before the regular loading of new RFPs.
