Construction Procurement Methods
The main types of procurements used at UVa are:
Competitive Sealed Bidding. Complete plans normally
required. Low responsive and responsible bid wins.
Bids solicited through an “Invitation for Bids (IFB)”

Competitive Negotiation. A contractor/construction
manager selection process that considers technical value along
with pricing. A negotiation phase is normal. This class of
procurement includes fixed price construction, Construction
Management (all options) and Design-Build contracts. Technical
and Price proposals are solicited through Requests for Proposals
(RFPs).
