Submitting a Tender

Do read the Conditions of Tender carefully. This document contains vital information about how your tender response should be prepared.
If you don't follow these instructions your bid may be disqualified as non-compliant.

Don't be complacent when responding to a tender, even if you are the incumbent supplier. Always present your best solution and provide the strongest response you can.

  • A signed Tender Form
  • Completed Tender Schedules
  • Additional Information requested in the tender documentation
  • Any other documents/attachments applicable to the tender submission

Tender Presentation Tips
