Advice to tenderers

It is better practice that tender documentation include advice that tenderers may seek a debriefng.42 It may also be appropriate for tender documentation or separate advice to tenderers to include the following information:

  the point in the procurement cycle when a debriefing will be available. In most circumstances this will be after contract signature

  In general terms, the issues that the debriefing may be expected to cover, and

  a contact point for tenderers to make arrangements for a debriefing.

Debriefing should be tailored to the particular procurement and for each tenderer.
