What you need to do

Issue the requirement and draft contract to suppliers and invite proposals setting out their solutions with budgetary (i.e. non-binding) costs.

Points to consider

The invitation to tender should include:

  • the requirement specification
  • a draft contract; see OGC's model terms and conditions recommended for use when contracting for goods or services that include the provision to cover:
    • the gathering and sharing of management information with other government departments
    • transparency of relationships with sub-contractors, particularly the obligations on and payment to sub-contractors
  • also consider the use of incentivisation clauses, e.g. such as volume price reductions, profit sharing
  • instructions and conditions for submitting responses
  • the evaluation criteria.

Ensure the invitation is clear, and that suppliers know how to respond and the deadline for responses.
