Study Notes
Tender Process
- Aimed at obtaining the lowest prices from technically acceptable proposals submitted in sealed envelopes.
- Bids include two separate sealed envelopes: one for the technical proposal and another for the financial proposal.
- Opening of financial envelopes is restricted to those bids that pass the technical evaluation.
- Governed by specific rules and procedures outlined in the executive regulations.
Committees Involved
- Bids are evaluated by two committees: one for opening the envelopes and another for decision-making.
- For tenders valued at 50,000 pounds or less, a single committee handles both tasks.
Practice Approach
- Similar to the tendering process but allows applicants to compete during a session aimed at price reduction.
