This profile BII35 Advanced Tendering with pre-award catalogue describes electronic messaging support for the business process of tendering. It is intended for use by businesses in order to present a tender that fulfils the requirements of a Call for tenders document in a tendering process, with a pre-award catalogue that meets the pre-award catalogue request in the Call for tenders.
The key aspects covered by this profile are:
- The submitting of a Tender in response to a Call for tenders as part of an open, negotiated or restricted tendering procedure or a dynamic purchasing system.
- The submitting of a pre-award catalogue as part of the tender.
- A receipt from a contracting body to an economic operator confirming that and when a tender has been received.
