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. |

42 The CPGs require FMA agencies and prescribed CAC entities to provide, on request, an unsuccessful tenderer with the reasons why its submission was not successful. On request a debriefing should also be provided to successful tenderers.
