Invitation to Tender
Tender documentation will in general contain the following
items:
- A letter of invitation and instructions to tenderers
- a pricing document and/or form of tender
- Freedom of Information Act 2000 Statement
- a specification and/or schedule of rates
- special conditions of contract or conditions of purchase
- the Council's general conditions of contract
- relevant supporting information
- a pre-addressed label for use in returning the tender
Companies will be asked to complete and return the tender
documents by a given time and date using the address label
provided. If they fail to return their tender by the
specified deadline, it will be excluded from the evaluation
process. All acceptable tender returns will be kept in a
secure container and opened at the same time in the presence of an
elected Member appointed for the purpose and the Authorised
Recipient (or his or her representative).
Companies will be informed as to whether or not they have been
successful in the tendering process. If they are not
successful, they can request feedback as to which aspects of their
tender were assessed as unacceptable to the Council.
