No two tenders are identical. It is important that you treat each one individually. Here are a few essential tips on what you must do when submitting a tender response.
-
Read every word of every document included in with the tender. Highlight any key points. Especially the selection criteria.
-
Ask questions about any part of the tender that you need clarifying.
-
Answer every single question. If it is not applicable, say "Not Applicable".
-
Submit the tender at least half an hour before the deadline. Uploading documents can sometimes take a while. Late tenders are noncompliant.
