What is a Tender ?
"Tender" means an invitation to offer for an item/items or work.
All Public Sector purchases/Contracts in Bangladesh, over a certain value
has to be publicly notified through Tender Notices which are advertised

Publications and Notice Boards, and now on Internet.
Types Of Tenders

Tendering, Single Tendering and Verbal Tendering
-
Limited Tendering :
This involves issuing Tender to few selected tenderers only.
-
Open Tendering :
This means that the Tender is open to
any supplier who can quote for the materials as per requirements. This
is usually done by publishing the Tender Notice in Newspapers/Trade
journals/Internet and other bulletins.
-
Single Tendering :
Single Tendering means sending the Tender to one particular
party. Normally, it is either for an item where there is only one
supplier or for an item where the purchaser has developed confidence in
one supplier only and would just like to verify the current price,
delivery etc. Single Tenders are also sent for items of proprietary
nature.
-
Verbal Tendering :
Where there is hardly any time to wait for the supplier to
quote Verbal Tendering becomes necessary. This could either be done by
telephoning the supplier or across the table.
