Presentation

It is important to ensure your tender response is clearly and precisely displayed.

Avoid handwritten presentations, even the nearest writer trends to lose clarity after a time.

Use a type size one point larger than the issuing authority’s document if possible. This displays your response clearly.

Normally correction made by the use of correction fluid (white fluid) are not acceptable to most of the organizations. Hence, tenderes should sign with date and stamp, all corrections and overwriting.

All signatures in tender document should be dated as well as the pages of all sections of tender document should be signed at the lower right hand corner whenever required in the tender paper by the tenderer or by a person holding power of attorney authorizing him to sign on behalf of the tenderer before submission of tender.

Prepare covers and covering letters depending on tender system and requirement of the tender. Make sure that you have enclosed right documents in right cover.
