Tribal organizations enter into hundreds of contracts with consultants and professional service organizations.  Professional services are normally procured using a competitive request for proposal which incorporates negotiation of contract terms and conditions.  This process must also comply with the NEW Super Circular (2 CFR 200). This methodology requires that the Tribal organization obtain competitive proposals, evaluate these proposals in light of established weighted point factor criteria, and conduct cost and price analysis of contractor’s submissions.  These procedures require establishing evaluation criteria, conducting technical evaluations, performing cost and price analysis, and conducting negotiations.  This seminar will examine in depth the procurement process to be followed for the request for proposals and the negotiations that follow.  This seminar is for program staff and purchasing personnel.

Key topics include:

	Development of specification/scope of work
	Preparation of evaluation criteria
	Technical evaluation methodology
	Cost analysis
	Preparations for negotiations
	Best and final offers
	Award of negotiated contracts
	Contractor claims and relief
	Grantee claims and remedies
	Rights of the parties after award
