7. Pricing response. Ask for itemised fees, currency, taxes, preparation, travel if relevant, and optional services. Request actual cancellation and change terms.
8. Evaluation. State how fit, delivery, evidence and cost will be considered. Use criteria approved through your organisation’s purchasing process.
9. Questions and submission. Give the contact, question deadline, response format and submission deadline.
10. Selection and next steps. Explain the expected review process and when providers should expect an update.

Make responses comparable

Provide a small anonymised task description and ask how the proposed training would address it. Invite providers to flag prerequisites or assumptions that could prevent the outcome. Require them to distinguish a confirmed service from an optional idea.

Use the provider checklist to support review and the proposal template when narrowing the scope. This document is a purchasing aid, not a statement of procurement or contract requirements for your organisation.
