Bidding refers to the comprehensive process through which suppliers actively participate in a procurement competition by preparing and submitting proposals. In the EU public procurement context, bidding encompasses reviewing official tender documents, developing compliant solutions, and submitting an offer (often called a “bid” or “tender”) that outlines how the supplier will meet the contracting authority’s requirements at the proposed price.
This process may involve drafting technical specifications, addressing sustainability or innovation criteria, securing necessary guarantees (like bid bonds), and meeting all formal submission requirements before the deadline. Bidding initiates the evaluation phase, where proposals are judged against transparent and preestablished award criteria under EU procurement principles such as equal treatment, transparency, and non-discrimination.
Whether conducted via traditional paper-based methods or modern e‑procurement platforms, a well-structured bidding process ensures fair market access and accountability in awarding public contracts.
