Child Care Services
seek
an experienced firm to operate child care facilities and provide high-quality child care
services for the employees, students and other designees of the University, HSF and
UVAMC, with a fee structure consistent with market pricing. This RFP is part of a
competitive procurement process which helps to serve the University's best interests. It
also provides firms with a fair opportunity for their services to be considered. The
process of competitive negotiation being used in this case should not be confused with
the different process of competitive sealed bidding. The latter process is usually used
where the goods or services being procured can be described precisely and price is
generally the determinative factor. With competitive negotiation, however, price is not
required to be the determinative factor, although it may be, and the Parties have the
flexibility it needs to negotiate with firms to arrive at a mutually agreeable relationship.
