Ann: Redflow US Market Update, page-23

The RFT would be worded along the lines of: "Provide details of how the proposed solution would integrate with the Redflow storage and battery management systems. If the solution includes storage, please provide details of the storage components in terms of capacity, peak and sustained outputs, charge time, constraints on charge/discharge levels, performance change over time, ..."

In essence the requester is stating that they are satisfied with the Redflow storage solution and don't need further details if the tender proposes to use Redflow. If the tenderer wishes to propose a different storage solution then the onus is on the tenderer to show how their proposed storage solution measures up against Redflow. It doesn't mean that the requester prefers Redflow, but it means more work for the tenderer if they want to propose something different and the tenderer runs the risk that they don't compare well enough to get their proposal up.
