The modern world assumes the presence of both a wide selection of services and goods, and organizations that are ready to fulfill and provide them. However, most customers prefer to compare similar companies. As a result, these processes guarantee the most complete compliance of the contractor with a wide range of employer requirements. All of the above actions can be characterized by one capacious phrase "Open competitions". So what exactly is meant by this concept?
Definition and features
This term is a type of competition on a competitive basis in which both individuals and legal entities, as well as their voluntary associations, created specifically for receiving municipal or state contracts, orders and other things, can take part. The winner is selected by the most competent jury, which includes the representative of the contracting party. Open competitions have their own distinctive features. For example, in comparison with closed tenders, they stand out as an important feature: absolutely any suppliers of materials, goods and services can take part in them. In addition, open competitions are available at all stages of the conduct, which guarantees the most honest approach to choosing a winner. It should be remembered that all government tenders are held in the form described above.
Scheme
Consider this option in which you wanted to build a hotel complex. What is required for this? Of course, a lot of furniture, trained staff, significant investments and ... the building in which all this will be located. However, you will not be independently engaged in the construction and decoration of premises, the laying of electrical networks, ventilation ducts and other things. Like any other person, you would prefer to hire more competent specialists in these matters. Here open competitions come to the rescue. You just need to make a proper application, which will indicate the cost of the contract, the deadline, the required quality and other conditions. Further, potential contractors submit their applications for participation in the tender, and then a specially drawn up tender committee is engaged in their consideration and selection of the most suitable candidate. It should be remembered that when conducting open tenders, it is necessary to pay for the application security until the full package of documents is submitted. So, subject to the above conditions and rules, your tender for the construction of a hotel complex will be held successfully.
Required documents
As mentioned earlier, for the implementation of such competitions should provide a standard package of securities, which include:
- substantiation of the initial cost of the tender for the right to execute the contract;
- terms of reference to the contractor;
- application evaluation criteria ;
- contract for the performance of the required work;
- order "On placing an order for the right to conclude a contract".
