Two Stage Selective Tendering

Two Stage Selective Tendering

Two Stage Selective Tendering is a process whereby a contracting authority invites a number of pre-qualified contractors to submit bids for the work to be carried out. The authority then selects a shortlist of contractors who are invited to tender for the work.

This type of tendering can be used in situations where the contracting authority wants to ensure that only experienced and reputable contractors are bidding for the work. It can also be used where the authority wants to reduce the number of bids received, in order to make the tendering process more manageable.

Two Stage Selective Tendering can be an effective way of procuring goods or services, however it is important that the selection criteria used to shortlist contractors are fair and objective.
