What level of information is sought in government tenders?
Other than across government or lead agency contracts, each public authority releases its own invitations to bid. All invitations have different response requirements, and sufficient information is required to enable evaluation of the most capable and best value response to meet a business objective. It is important that you follow the instructions in the bid rules and templates in your response. In the absence of any response templates or specific instructions, you should present the information in a simple structured format. Further information can be found in the Suppliers Guide to Winning Government Business. Weblink: Suppliers Guide to Winning Government Business Information generally sought includes: • financial and corporate capability of the supplier • past performance (references) • technical expertise of the supplier • ability to perform the task required or supply the goods required • ability to meet the specifications and requirements • quality testing (where applicable) •
