Serial Tendering Advantages And Disadvantages

Before starting the actual technical and financial evaluation of bids, it is necessary to ensure that all the information required at bid closing is available and ready to be transmitted to the evaluators.

In order to accurately determine best value, a logical systematic evaluation procedure covering all aspects of the evaluation process must be followed.

The responsive bid offering the best value to Canada may or may not necessarily be the one with the lowest price.

The main purpose of bid evaluation is to determine the best responsive bid, in accordance with the evaluation and selection methodology specified in the solicitation document, among the bids submitted before the bid closing time on the date specified in the bid solicitation.

It is recommended that contracting officers also familiarize themselves with the Basic Guidelines for Bid Evaluation Process - Contractor Selection Methods.
