Efficacy and Crop Tolerance Trials Application Form
PEST MANAGEMENT CENTRE – Efficacy Trials Application Form
The objective of the application form is to guide bidders in the preparation of their bid and to provide AAFC with a tool to better assess, evaluate, and
contrast the proposals submitted. It’s very important to fully complete every field. By having this template in MS Word allows bidders to adjust the space
in each field according to the size of information used to fulfill / address the template requirements.
COMPLETE ONE EFFICACY TRIAL APPLICATION FORM FOR EACH EFFICACY TRIAL FOR WHICH YOU ARE MAKING A BID. Submit hard copies
of each form with your proposal as indicated in the Request for Proposal # 01B68-15-0189. It is not necessary to submit reference letters and general
company information with each application form (one set of each per proposal copy is sufficient).
