A Tender Request, which can also be called a Request for Tender (RFT), is a formal
and structured invitation to qualified suppliers to submit a bid to supply clearly
defined products or services and will usually include the following documents:
3P A G E
q The conditions of tender: these are set the rules that apply to everyone
participating in the tender process, such as suppliers and buyers.
q The form of tender: This is a form or a set of schedules that you need to
complete and then submit with your tender response.
4P A G E
q The conditions of contract: You will be expected to sign this document if you are
awarded the tender.
q The scope of works: This is everything the organisation would like you to
perform as a part of the contract.
q Ensure that you take the time to read all of the tender documents carefully. Ask
the customer questions if you are unsure what is being requested.
5P A G E
q A tender response can be a single page or can be hundreds of pages long. The
length is dependent on the complexity and nature of the tender request.
q The time offered to prepare a tender response varies from as little as one week
to, in some cases, a month or more.
q The cost and resources required to prepare a tender response can be quite
substantial with these costs borne by you as the tenderer.
q Before preparing a tender response, you need to frankly evaluate your possibility
of winning.
Tender responses
6P A G E
q Tenders are issued regularly by Local, State and Federal government bodies.
Requests for Tender can also be issued by private companies and businesses for
considerable procurement opportunities.
Who issues tenders?
7P A G E
q Each year in Australia, more than 20,000 requests for tenders are posted on
websites, tender portals and newspapers.
q The government market alone is estimated to be worth in excess of $30 billion.
These are enormous business opportunities which, if done right, could secure
you as a repeat customer.
q It could provide your business with a boost to the next level. It could also
substantially increase your total business revenue.
Why should I submit a tender?
8P A G E
q Government tenders can be found published on over 500 websites. They also
appear in 300 newspapers across the country.
q Finding them and private businesses requesting tenders can be made easier by
