This came across one of the lists I'm on today. It's mind-blowing to think that this type of situation could actually exist:
Would love any suggestions from the group. We just received notification that because of a Fedex failure (which they acknowledged as their fault in a fax to the potential client before the closing deadline), we have been excluded from competing in a bid for a rather large project for a university.
We are so frustrated that a technicality like this (they weren't even going to distribute the proposals until the next day, by which time they would have received the delivery) could scuttle our bid. Add to this that to deliver the proposal a day beforehand would have meant receiving the answers to questions on the RFP and turning the proposal around in less than one business day. Anyone ever appeal a procurement decision like this?
I mean, what do you suggest?
