I spend my time working for and with the public services in the UK. In the
course of this I, like you, have to write bids for these organisations. My
response to your question is more prosaic and less philosophical. The person
who will read your bid first will (almost certainly) be a procurement
officer - who will be reviewing your bid against his/her checklist. It is
unlikely that they will have a deep understanding of the issues that your
bid is about - they are more on the technical side of the procurement
process.

I would suggest that you invent some very simple process for evaluating the
OS (and the planning sessions running up to it) and talk a little about QA
supervison. Hell - you could even use the OSLIST as you QA process! The
procurement person will just want to be able to tick his/her box.

Hope this helps

PS My definition of a lost opportnity is a busload of procurement officers
going over a cliff with one empty seat!!!

PPPS No - really!

  Hello out there!

  I am in the middle of writing a public procurement and will of course
suggest Open Space as one way of working. One of the questions they are
asking is about quality assurance – In my mind for example the way we
operate here on this list, on our OS on OS’s is really quality assurance!

  What do you think, how would you express a question about how we work with
quality assurance for open space??

  Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

  All the best

  :o)
