If a prospective contractor or supplier submits a tender that does not comply with the client's requirements then that bidder is said to have submitted a non-compliant bid. Where there is a mandatory element of an Invitation to Tender (ITT) which is not satisfied, the bid can be rejected as non-compliant.

Guidance to prospective bidders is usually clear about the requirements, in terms of precise information required, word length, presentation format, etc. Simply put, full compliance means all material conditions of a tender must be complied with and the price submitted should be based on the client’s tender specification documents.

However, a non-compliant proposal, sometimes referred to as a variant bid, may be submitted if the tenderer believes that an alternative could offer better value for money. However, non-compliant proposals should only be submitted if they have been requested or are explicitly permitted by the client, and they may need to be accompanied by a compliant bid.

Requirements for compliance remind bidders that they and they alone have the responsibility for submitting a properly completed bid.

=== Ways to make a tender non-compliant: ===

* Not answering the question(s)
* Exceeding the required word length
* Leaving sections blank
* Submitting in a format e.g PDF when Excel or Word were required.
* Making a late submission.
