C.
Terms of the contract should be negotiated prior to developing a detailed scope of the project.
D.
Detailed scope of the project should first be defined by the client and then Request for Qualification (RFQ) should be issued.
In the Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process for hiring consultants, the correct sequence is to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) (Option A). This order ensures that the qualifications of potential consultants are assessed before more detailed proposals are requested, aligning with standard procurement practices for professional services.
