RFP Scenario A campus issued an RFP for outsourcing of their student health center. Only one response was received, but the proposer failed to sign the bid proposal form, a requirement of the RFP. The current vendor did not submit a proposal, stating it was too expensive for their consultant to write a response to the campus request. How would you handle this?
