Which process must occur before the formation of a contract?

Delivery of goods
Evaluation of offers
Pre-award activities
Implementation of terms

The correct answer is: Pre-award activities

Before the formation of a contract, pre-award activities are essential. This process involves various critical steps such as developing a clear understanding of the needs that the contract will fulfill, conducting market research, and identifying potential suppliers or contractors. It also includes creating the request for proposals (RFPs) or request for bids (RFBs), which outlines the requirements and criteria for evaluating proposals. These activities ensure that the parties involved are aligned on expectations, terms, and conditions prior to entering a contractual agreement. The other processes, such as delivery of goods, evaluation of offers, and implementation of terms, occur after the contract has been formed. For example, evaluation of offers takes place during the selection process based on the proposals received, while implementation of terms refers to the performance of obligations as set out in the contract. Thus, all these steps follow the foundational pre-award activities necessary for contract formation.
