The RFT will comprise multi-stage processes that may include workshops, briefings and other activities as required by DFAT. These processes will be specified in the documentation released through the RFT stage.The evaluation criteria to be used for the RFT will be provided at the time of release of the RFT together with the form of contract proposed for the subsequent contract. A failure to respond to this EOI will result in a potential supplier not being eligible to participate in any subsequent RFT process.
