Limited Tendering Procedures Sample Clauses

The Limited Tendering Procedures clause defines the circumstances under which a contracting authority may bypass open or competitive tendering and directly invite selected suppliers to submit bids. This typically applies in situations such as urgent requirements, lack of suitable bids from open tenders, or when only one supplier is capable of fulfilling the contract due to technical or exclusive rights. By outlining these exceptions, the clause ensures that procurement processes remain efficient and practical when standard competitive procedures are not feasible, while still maintaining transparency and accountability.
