What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThree to five weeks
response window for over threshold tender
The response window for above-threshold tenders is typically three to five weeks. This period is crucial for suppliers to prepare and submit their bids. The Procurement Act 2023 mandates that suppliers have a minimum of 25 days to respond, although buyers can extend this for complex procurements. During this time, suppliers must submit any questions about the specification or evaluation criteria before a clarification period closes, which is usually one to two weeks before the submission deadline. After the submission deadline, the contracting authority evaluates all responses, which typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the number of responses and the complexity of the evaluation.
