It is important to provide tenderers with as much information as is reasonable and to define roles and tasks as clearly as possible. This should cover the nature of assistance sought in terms of advice, support, review, responsibility for the process, etc. The clearer the brief, the easier it is for the tenderer to scope the project and to price its services accordingly. The Value for Money Framework supporting document provides a reasonable level of detail regarding the tasks and deliverables and outputs required at each stage. This will assist agencies in preparing their request for offer (specification) document and also provide key information to advisory firms regarding the approach to be taken by government.
