3.1.2 There is an adequate process for requesting contracts at the NEB. Documents such as the FreeBalance Requisition and Request for Proposal (RFP)/tender documents are used at the NEB as tools to ensure efficient and effective contracting. The FreeBalance Requisition form is used to initiate all requests for goods, services or construction, regardless of their value. This form is initiated by the project manager and is approved by either the team leader or business unit leader. A request for proposal (RFP)/tender document is prepared and issued by Supply Management for competitive contracts. Most of the interviewees were aware of the existence of the FreeBalance Requisition, and, if they were involved in a competitive process, they were aware of the RFP/tender document.
