Purchasing – Tendering Procedure

This document provides guidance as to how your organisation will develop, issue and evaluate tenders for the supply of high-risk items or services by ensuring that:

• Management System requirements are identified at all stages of the tender process in-line with the required scope of work or supply of goods
• Personnel responsible for issuing and reviewing tenders are aware of their obligations
• The overall process is reviewed to ensure changes or non-conformances are identified and addressed

This procedure does not address low to medium risk contracts such as the supply of regular services or items required for daily operations.  This procedure also does not address the daily management of contractors that may be engaged through a tender.  Refer to the Purchasing and Contract Management Procedure/Bundle for these additional requirements.
