3.7.  DEBRIEF TENDERERS

Debriefing tenderers is an important part of the procurement process and, when done well, benefits both parties. A successful debrief is one that provides feedback to tenderers about the areas where they were more or less competitive. This information can assist the contractor in making submissions for future procurements and government entities by providing potential suppliers with a better understanding of the government's procurement processes.

Constructive feedback also contributes to transparency in the procurement process and provides the market with greater confidence in the fairness of that process.
