PREPARATION OF TENDER DOCUMENTS

- TENDER CONDITIONS AND CONTRACT

The tender documents include the tender notice, the tender conditions and, possibly, the contract tendered for. Added to that are the specification of requirements and any other documents required for the contracting entity to describe the contract up for tender and for the contractors to be able to submit a tender.

It is important that the tender documents are clear and explicit, and that the formal requirements of the procurement rules are complied with. Crucially, the tender notice must allow a potential tenderer to assess whether to submit a tender. Precise tender documents greatly increase the chances of tenders meeting the wishes of the contracting entity. Also at this point, matters of importance to the subsequent performance of the contract have to be considered.

It is important to be aware that the tender documents also set restrictions on the contracting entity and therefore it is also important to include only the necessary information and requirements.
