Answer» Right choice is (a) Single-stage Best explanation: Single-stage tendering is the more traditional route, used when all the information necessary to calculate a realistic price is available when tendering commences: • An invitation to tender is issued to prospective suppliers (perhaps following completion of a pre-qualification questionnaire and/or a pre-tender interview). The invitation to tender will include information describing the goods or services required in sufficient detail to enable prospective suppliers to prepare an accurate tender. • Tenders are prepared and returned by prospective suppliers (this may involve questions and answers and a mid-tender interview to clarify the client’s requirements). • Submitted tenders are then assessed and compared (this may involve further interviews). • The preferred tenderer is selected and negotiations opened. • Subject to the outcome of those negotiations the preferred tenderer may then be appointed. |
