	A tender is a submission made by a prospective supplier in response to an invitation to tender. It makes an offer for the supply of goods or services. In construction, the main tender process is generally the selection, by the client, of a contractor to construct the works. However, as procurement routes have become more complex, so tenders may be sought for a wide range of goods and services.

It makes an offer for the supply of goods or services. In construction, the main tender process is generally the selection, by the client, of a contractor to construct the works. However, as procurement routes have become more complex, so tenders may be sought for a wide range of goods and services.

		+	Irrespective of the nature of the goods or services that are being sought, securing tenders generally follows one of a number of basic procedures:
		+	*Open tendering.
		+	*Selective tendering.
		+	*Negotiated tendering.
		+	*Serial tendering.
		+	*Framework tendering.
		+
		+	Open tendering allows anyone to submit a tender to supply the goods or services that are required, generally in response to an advert giving notice that the contract is being tendered. 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.
		+
		+	Selective tendering only allows suppliers to submit tenders by invitation. A pre-selected list of possible suppliers is prepared that are known by their track record to be suitable for a contract of the size, nature and complexity required. They might then be asked if they would be interested in tendering for the contract, and then based on the responses received, a number of them invited to tender (generally no more than 6). From the tenders received, a preferred tenderer is selected based on criteria such as price and quality and negotiations entered into.
		+
		+	Consultants or experienced clients may maintain ‘approved’ lists of prospective suppliers appropriate for particular types of contract and then regularly review performance to assess whether they should remain on the list.
		+
		+	Selective tendering may be particularly appropriate for specialist or complex contracts, or contracts where there are only a few suitable firms. Selective tendering will tend to be faster than open tendering, and can be seen as less wasteful, as there is no pre-qualification process as part of the tender procedure itself, and only suppliers that are known to be appropriate for the proposed contract are invited to prepare tenders. It can also give clients greater confidence that their requirements will be satisfied.
		+
		+	However, it can exclude smaller suppliers or those trying to establish themselves in a new market, it can reduce the potential for innovation, and it can be seen to introduce bias into tendering as firms may be excluded from approved lists for unknown reasons, because of a lack of awareness, or because of personal preferences.
