Instructions To Tenderers
The term Instructions to Tenderers (ITT) refers to a set of documents that are issued by the procuring authority to potential bidders for a particular procurement project. ITT documents typically include information on the scope of work, evaluation criteria, bid submission requirements, and other key details pertaining to the procurement process.
The issuance of ITT documents is one of the earliest stages in the procurement process, and as such, they play a critical role in shaping how the procuring authority envision the project unfolding. As such, it is important for potential bidders to carefully review all ITT documents before submitting their bids.
Due to the importance of ITT documents, they are often accompanied by a pre-tender conference or workshop, during which the procuring authority will answer any questions that potential bidders may have regarding the ITT documents.
