Tenders

How the Tender Process Works

1. Issuing the Tender
   The organization releases a tender document (often called a Request for Tender or RFT) that details the project and requirements.
2. Bid Preparation and Submission
   Interested vendors review the documents and submit a formal bid by a specified deadline. Submissions typically include pricing, qualifications, timelines, and methodology.
3. Evaluation
   All bids are reviewed against established criteria, which may include cost, experience, technical capability, and ability to meet project timelines.
4. Awarding the Contract
   The contract is awarded to the bidder that best meets the criteria—not necessarily the lowest price, but the best overall value.

Why Tenders Are Important

• Transparency: Ensures fairness and accountability in how contracts are awarded
• Competition: Encourages multiple bidders, leading to better pricing and quality
