Diligent public procurers will start planning the tender as much as 12 months before the Invitation to Tender (ITT) is issued. To stay ahead of the curve, we should begin executing our key stakeholders’ advocacy strategy at least 14 months before we expect the ITT.

Different products and their different level of innovativeness will pose different challenges to the procurement process. Those challenges require different pre-tender activities.
Public Procurement processes must meet specific requirements aimed at ensuring transparency. Key elements of the tender results are included in the award documents. All tenderers have the right to ask information about the award decision motivation.
