About this file
This document provides detailed instructions for submitting questions through the UMass BuyWays Portal for the Prescription Advantage Claims Processing/Adjudication and Related Services Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP event number is UMWOR-2022-0210-CWM08, with a release date of 3/25/2022 at 4:00 PM EDT and an event close date of 4/29/2022 at 2:00 PM EDT. The question submission deadline is 4/6/2022 at 4:00 PM EDT. The document outlines a step-by-step process for vendors to ask questions, including logging into the portal, navigating to the Q&A Board, and submitting questions either directly in the portal or by attaching a Microsoft Word document for multiple questions.
The instructions emphasize that submitted questions and answers may be exposed to all participating vendors at the discretion of the sponsoring organization. UMass recommends that vendors regularly check the BuyWays Portal for any addenda or modifications to the RFP. Vendors can find answers to their questions either under the Q&A Board or in amendments under the "Buyer Attachments" section. The portal provides several attachments for the RFP, including Contract Terms & Conditions, Sample Data & Reports, Vendor Security Questionnaire, Third Party Privacy Questionnaire, Scope of Services, Pricing/Cost Proposal Form, Proposal Requirements, and RFP Deadlines & Timetable.
