−	Open tendering has been criticised for being a slow and costly process, attracting tenders or 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 and so can facilitate greater innovation. The number of firms tendering can be reduced (ideally to a maximum of 6) by a pre-qualification process, and if this uses a standard pre-qualification questionnaire, then the time wasted by ~~unsuccessful~~ applicants can be minimised.	+	Open tendering has been criticised for being a slow and costly process, attracting tenders or 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.
