Is the RFP process used in governments worldwide and by all levels of government?
• MA: The RFP is an outgrowth of public policy that requires that the citizenry have equal access to government business, access given in a fair and open competition. So, it’s only Western governments, agencies and nongovernmental organizations and those aspiring to be such. There are virtually identical approaches to RFPs found in the U.S., Australia, Canada, European Union countries, the U.N. and its agencies, etc.
