A bidders conference is a meeting that brings all of the potential vendors together to discuss the statement of work and the request for proposal. A bidders conference is an opportunity for the soliciting organization to clarify any questions or issues regarding the project, the requirements, the evaluation criteria, and the procurement process. A bidders conference also allows the potential vendors to network with each other and explore possible partnerships or subcontracting opportunities. A bidders conference is different from a contract bidding meeting, which is a meeting where the soliciting organization evaluates and selects the winning vendor. A bidders conference is also different from a status meeting, which is a meeting that provides updates on the progress and performance of a project. A bidders conference is not a qualified vendors meeting, which is a meeting that pre-qualifies vendors based on their capabilities and experience. References:
