Tenders What are the methods of preparing offers?

There are several methods of preparing offers for tenders, including:

Traditional method: This involves submitting a written offer in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation to Tender (ITT).

Electronic method: This involves submitting an offer through an electronic procurement platform or portal.

Reverse auction: In this method, suppliers compete against each other by submitting decreasing offers in real-time, with the lowest offer winning the contract.

Competitive dialogue: This method involves a negotiation process between the buyer and multiple suppliers to develop the most suitable solution for the buyer.

Design-build: A method where the contractor is responsible for both the design and construction of a project.

It is important to note that the method of preparing offers will vary depending on the country, industry, and type of project. It is always advisable to carefully read and follow the instructions provided in the RFP or ITT.
