15.1 What is an interactive tender process?

The interactive tender process (ITP) provides an opportunity for an appropriate amount of direct interaction between the project team and short-listed bidders prior to bid submission. It is an opportunity for the project team to explain and clarify their expectations and for short-listed bidders to seek relevant feedback for their bid development.

This two-way communication takes the form of presentations, meetings and/or workshops involving individual bidders and the government project team.
