Competition is the priority Sample Clauses

Competition is the priority. To the end that the Institution shall obtain high-quality goods and services at reasonable cost, that all procurement procedures be conducted in an open, fair, and impartial manner with avoidance of any impropriety or appearance of impropriety, that all qualified vendors have access to the Institution's business, and that no offeror be arbitrarily or capriciously excluded, it is the intent of the governing body of the Institution that competition be sought to the maximum feasible degree, that procurement procedures involve openness and administrative efficiency, that individual public bodies enjoy broad flexibility in fashioning details of such competition, that the rules governing contract awards be made clear in advance of the competition, that specifications reflect the procurement needs of the purchasing body rather than being drawn to favor a particular vendor, and that the purchaser and vendor freely exchange information concerning what is sought to be procured and what is offered. The Institution may consider best-value concepts when procuring goods and nonprofessional services but not construction or professional services. Professional services will be procured using a qualification-based selection process. The criteria, factors, and basis for consideration of best value and the process for the consideration of best value shall be as stated in the procurement solicitation.
