Issue Tender Invitations

Invitations and Time Allowed

The Procurement Office will then issue the Invitations to Tender along with all of the tender documentation, including the specification of requirements, and this will include a date for receipt of tenders which must not be less than forty (40) days from despatch of the invitations.  Rejection letters will also be issued to those suppliers who have not been short listed. 

Within the Regulations it is possible to reduce the process times by using electronic means to publish our contract notices and make our documents available.  Procurement has access to systems to do this and the schedule may be brought down to thirty (30) days for the notice to be advertised and thirty-five (35) days for the Tenderers to submit.
