Which kind of software or IT tender fits your team?
search terms and bid checksPublic buyers use IT tenders to buy very different things. A reseller, development agency and managed-service provider should not work from the same shortlist. Start by identifying who owns the system and who will operate it after delivery.
- Software development and web development
- Check discovery, accessibility, integrations, data migration and support after launch. The buyer may expect an existing product or a bespoke build.
- IT support and managed services
- Read the user and device counts, on-site coverage, service hours and incident-response targets. Check what transfers from the incumbent.
- Software licences and SaaS
- Look for named products, permitted equivalents, licensing terms and implementation requirements. Supplying licences may be only part of the contract.
- Computer and hardware tenders
- Check quantities, specifications, installation, warranties, delivery locations and disposal requirements. These are different from software-development projects.
Before you commit time to a bid
- List each integration and who is responsible for access, migration and testing.
- Check the security, data handling and accessibility requirements in the documents; do not assume one certification satisfies them all.
- Confirm the purchasing route. A call-off may be restricted to suppliers on an existing agreement.
