BUSINESS REFERENCE FORMS~8.docx

This is a Business Reference Form template from the Massachusetts Veterans Home at Holyoke for an Entertainer Request for Response (RFR). The form is designed to collect business references from bidders to verify their qualifications and experience in providing entertainment services to veterans. Bidders are required to submit a specified number of references (to be determined by the issuing department), and references will be contacted to confirm the bidder's stated abilities and qualifications. The department reserves the right to deem a bidder's response unresponsive if a listed reference cannot be reached after reasonable attempts to contact them.

The form template includes fields for bidder information, RFR identification details, and multiple reference entries. Each reference section requires the reference organization name, primary contact person, complete address, email address, phone number, and an alternative fax or contact number. Bidders must also provide a description of the commodities or services provided and the dates those services were delivered. The form allows for up to three business references to be listed, though the specific number required will be inserted by the procuring department. This document serves as a standard evaluation tool to assess bidder capability and past performance in delivering entertainment services.
