Tendering is a kind of competitive bidding by which an external contributor is selected. Pre-qualification is a preliminary evaluation of the potential external contributors before entering into the tendering phase based on a predefined set of criteria. Types of tendering are differentiated based on how the pre-qualification itself relates to the tendering.
TYPES OF TENDERING
Open tendering: it does not require prequalification, thus each potential contributor can submit a tender bid. Bidding is not preceeded by prequalification. Selective tendering: only those potential external contributors may submit their tender bids who have been pre-qualified for the project work in question. It implies that bidding is preceeded by pre-qualification.
Two-tier tendering: a certain part of the tender bid is coupled with the pre-qualification itself.
Two-step tendering: a proposal for the technical solution of the desired project result (or the problem to be solved) is submitted along with pre-qualification. Two-stage/stair tendering: unit prices/rates are submitted along with pre-qualification.
Invitation tendering: a client invites a few potential external contributors to submit their tender bid. Thus, bidding is not preceeded by prequalification.
direct invitation: it is based on a certain kind of monopoly (e.g. a unique know how) serial tender: when a client wants to implement the same project a few times but in different locations, or a complex information system project will be implemented in a stage by stage manner etc.
Pre-qualification
No pre-qualification Bidding is preceded by prequalification (only pre-qualified external contributors may submit bid).
Proposal for the technical solution and pre-qualification precedes bidding. Proposal for unit prices/rates and prequalification precedes bidding.
No pre-qualification, invitation is based on a certain monopoly. No pre-qualification, invitation is based on previous experience.
Serial tendering
Financial capability
IMPORTANT DECISIONS
What is the minimum acceptable level of capability for each criterion? What is the level of capability (which is associated with the predefined weight for each criterion) as the available maximum? In this way the client: can maintain the relative importance of the criteria can make clear the minimum level of the required capability can avoid incapable contributors can develop a scale for each criterion to evaluate the applicants
