14.1  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 shortlisted bidders prior to bid submission. It is an opportunity for the project team to explain and clarify their expectations and for shortlisted 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.
