Top tips for an effective Invitation to Tender (ITT): -       Consider your audience. -       Keep it precise, to the point, yet engaging. -       Be clear on the objectives and the drivers for the tender. -       Provide a clear set of service requirements. -       Use previous supplier clarifications to recognise what information was previously missed from an ITT to help better pre-empt supplier questions.  -       Set a realistic deadline for participants to prepare a tender submission. -       Include a standardised price matrix to make for easier cost comparison. -       Outline the evaluation criteria. -       Set out a procurement timetable to include all the relevant milestones. #procurement #outsourcedprocurement #tenders
