Common use of Modification or Withdrawal of Proposal Clause in Contracts

Modification or Withdrawal of Proposal. Prior to the proposal submission deadline set forth in Section 1.2, a Respondent may: (1) withdraw its proposal by submitting a written request to the HHSC Point of Contact, or (2) modify its proposal by submitting a written amendment to the HHSC Point of Contact. HHSC may request proposal modifications at any time. HHSC reserves the right to waive minor informalities in a proposal and award a contract that is in the best interest of the State of Texas. A “minor informality” is an omission or error that, in HHSC’s determination, if waived or modified when evaluating proposals, would not give a Respondent an unfair advantage over other Respondents or result in a material change in the proposal or RFP requirements. When HHSC determines that a proposal contains a minor informality, it may at its discretion provide the Respondent with the opportunity to correct.
