- Q: Should hardware be the only component included on the BID response tab for document PEPPM 2024 Pricing template, or should we also include our Managed Print Services line items?
A: The Bid Response tab of the PEPPM Pricing template is only for Hardware. The Rate care should be a seprate file created by the bidder. Since Rate cards can have different categories and/or fields depending on the bid response or products, we ask the bidders to create their own Rate Card, but have clearly defined categories that will align with the discount listed on the Quote Sheet tab of the PEPPM Pricing template. You can find additional information about what we are looking for on the Rate Card in the terms and conditions, especially these sections:- II.24 Definition of “Rate Card”
