The Request For Offer (RFO) is a crucial procurement instrument used when organizations need to solicit detailed proposals from potential suppliers in a structured and legally compliant manner. Under Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, this document serves as a formal invitation to potential suppliers to submit binding offers for specific goods or services. The RFO typically includes comprehensive technical specifications, commercial requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission guidelines. It is particularly important in ensuring transparency, fair competition, and compliance with Swiss procurement regulations, while also providing a clear framework for supplier selection and subsequent contract negotiations. The document is designed to facilitate objective comparison of offers and typically precedes the formal contract formation phase.
