Venture Lab Public tender bid/no-bid checklist
Finding a matching tender is the easy part. Before you spend days on a bid, run through this list with the official documents open.
Is it real and current?
- Open the tender at the official source. In Israel that is usually the Government Procurement Administration site (mr.gov.il) or the publishing body's own page. Do not bid from a copy.
- Check the latest update date. Deadlines and documents change. The mr.gov.il listings show both a publication date and an update date.
- Write down the exact deadline and time, and how bids must be submitted.
Can we bid?
- Eligibility (threshold) conditions. Check experience, turnover, certifications and licences. Missing one usually disqualifies the bid regardless of price.
- Guarantees. Find out whether a bid guarantee is required, for what amount, and how long it takes your bank to issue it.
- Mandatory meetings or site visits. Check whether attendance is a condition of bidding.
- Required forms. Note affidavits and signed declarations.
Should we bid?
- Evaluation criteria. How are price and quality weighted? Can we win on the criteria that count most?
- Scope and contract term. Look at volumes, the service levels required and the penalties.
- Clarification questions. Note the deadline for questions. Ask early, and read the answers given to other bidders.
- Effort. Is the effort worth it compared with other open opportunities?
