The company publishes all tenders in the local government section of local newspapers and one other local publication. Tenders are also advertised on the government website and advertised on several websites.

Tender documents can be downloaded at several websites.

Read the tender document very carefully and familiarise yourself with the conditions of tendering, the advertised selection criteria, the specifications, and the conditions of the contract, especially the clauses dealing with delivery and price variations, before deciding whether you are suitable or not.

If you are unsure about the proposed contract, either discuss it with the contact officer nominated in the tender advertisement or have the tender reviewed by your legal representative.

Ensure you have filled out all the necessary fields from the document, answered each of the criteria, and supplied the required number of copies of your submission. You are then ready to lodge your tender documents.

Company records are generally open to the public. However, tenders received are treated in confidence during the evaluation and reporting stages (see Steps 9 to 10) and subsequently retained on the Tender File. They may at some time be the subject of an application to inspect.

Tenderers who require any information provided with a tender to be kept permanently confidential should advise this in writing and give reasons, e.g. to protect a commercial interest or intellectual property.

The company will offer the same tender documents to all those who respond to an invitation to tender.

The tender period is usually three weeks. During the tender period, you may wish to seek further information or clarification from the contact officer. If advice, verbal or in writing, is given to a respondent clarifying the meaning of the tender documentation, the same information will be issued to all other respondents. The company will maintain a written record of all advice given. The company may invite prospective tenderers to a pre-tender meeting to provide further information and to respond to questions raised. The minutes of this meeting will be distributed to those who attend the meeting, or who have registered their interest with the Company.

Tenders must be placed in a specific location, and no later than the closing time on the closing date. There are however some reasons that late tenders may be accepted – as described in the Local Government Act and Regulation. Mostly LATE submissions cannot be accepted.

What Happens Next?

The company’s tender opening panel will open all tenders received by the due date and time, in the Company’s Reception area located at the Company Chambers. The panel will list the tenders received in alphabetical order, and the list will be displayed in the Reception area for public viewing.

Every submission will be reviewed by a tender evaluation panel. While other criteria may be used that are more specific to each tender, the following are examples of commonly used criteria in an assessment:

The tender evaluation panel will examine all tenders for compliance with the conditions of tendering, including completion of all the relevant tender forms.

Each tender submission is read in detail and its strengths and weaknesses are assessed and recorded. The submissions are then scored against the advertised criteria and ranked.

The tender evaluation panel may invite you to a post-tender interview to seek further details of your capability to carry out the works. Following the interview, the panel may review the scores and ranking of tenderers.

The panel will prepare a report to the Finance Department or Committee with a recommendation either to accept no tenders, with reasons given or to enter into a contract with one tenderer or a number of tenderers. The Committee’s resolution will then go as a recommendation to full Company.

If your tender is successful you will be advised in writing and contract documentation may be required to be completed.
