Who Can Bid?
- Some tenders may require suppliers to be Expenditure and Procurement Policies Unit (EPPU) or Building and Construction Authority (BCA) registered.
- You may put in a bid in your own capacity or form a consortium of suppliers to submit a bid.
- Forming a consortium is useful for tenders of larger value where small suppliers may not be able to meet the financial and operational requirements on their own.
- Consortiums can be made up of several businesses. They can combine their financial health and turnover to meet tender requirements.
- For instance, to meet the Net Tangible Assets (NTA) requirement of a tender, the NTA of the consortium is equal to the NTA of the company with the highest NTA plus 50% of the sum of NTAs of all the other member companies.
