What is Open Tender Procedure?
The open tender procedure is a form of tender that is open to participants and anyone who wishes can bid. In this case, the tender is announced to the public and each candidate is expected to prepare a letter of offer. The offer letter represents the candidate’s budget for the job. The open tender procedure is simply the competition of the candidates over the tender price.
In order to participate in the open tender, the tenderers must comply with the conditions in the tender specifications. Candidates who meet the application qualifications and submit a procedural offer are examined according to the qualification evaluation criteria determined by the laws, and the candidate who offers the most advantageous conditions wins the tender.
The open tender procedure is open to everyone and no negotiations are made with the tenderer during the tender. In public tenders, the candidate prepares his/her bid in a sealed envelope. Before the deadline determined by the tender commission, the return is delivered via registered mail or courier. Envelopes not delivered on time will not be accepted even if due to courier delay. The submitted offer letter cannot be withdrawn.
