Most contracts in an organisation are created by the tender process. Offers are invited by the organisation for the tender process from a number of competent contractors to carry out

the intended works. This process facilitates the organisation to select a suitable contractor and it equally helps contractors to understand the specific requirements of the works and the risks involved in carrying out the same.

In order for the organisation to select a suitable contractor and to successfully carry out the works, he should focus on appropriate tendering procedures, procurement strategy and contractual arrangements.
