Ensure all proposed key personnel meet the minimum qualifications and experience levels outlined in the PWS. Provide proof of required certifications, such as the IAT Level I.

Finally, ensure your cost/price proposal is competitive and thoroughly justified, as the award will go to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror.
