There's also the aspect of the value proposition: what response to an RFP is going to provide the best value to Canada? It's not just the price. It's not just the price combined with the technical qualifications, but what jobs would be created. Those would be looked at, but not just in their totality. What's the distribution of them? Are they good quality jobs? Will there be information technology transfer included in it? Will there be long-term benefit? Will there be immediate benefit?
All those factors will be used to evaluate the value proposition, which as I said, could be as much as 10% of the evaluation of the bid. That could be enough to win or lose the procurement.
