Which tender allows anyone to submit a tender to supply the goods or services that are required?(a) Framework tendering(b) Selective tendering(c) Open tendering(d) Close tenderingI had been asked this question during an internship interview.The doubt is from Contract System topic in section P.W.D of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Open tendering

The best I can explain: On larger PROJECTS, there may then be a pre-qualification PROCESS that produces a short-list of suitable suppliers who will be invited to prepare tenders. This sort of pre-qualification process is not the same as selective tendering.

Open tendering has been criticised for attracting tenders / expressions of interest from large numbers of suppliers, some of whom may be ENTIRELY unsuitable for the CONTRACT and as a result it can waste a great deal of time, effort and money. HOWEVER, open tendering offers the greatest competition and has the advantage of allowing new or emerging suppliers to try to secure work.
