Your Chances of Winning

to be considered at each step in the procurement
process. Whilst some of the advice it obvious,
it is still very useful to have it in writing!

European
Rules
This describes the three procurement
procedures (Open, Restricted & Negotiated)
permitted under European Rules for public sector
contracts over the threshold of around £100,000
in goods or services. The chosen process will
be made clear for each tender opportunity.
The Open procedure is most straightforward
and most common. A full guide is provided for
the Restricted procedure, which includes Pre-Qualification
Questionnaire and Short List steps and is well
suited for e-tendering.

Financial
Assessment
Explains the information you
may need to provide to buyers to demonstrate
your company’s financial standing. The
extent to which this information is required
depends on the particular tender opportunity
- however, it is essential to have the capacity
to provide this information in order to demonstrate
your organisation’s ability to meet the
contract requirements.

Frameworks
This provides a concise description
of the ‘framework contract’ approach.
This is a way of selecting a supplier (or a
consortium) to deliver any of the requested
goods or services on demand over an agreed
period.
