Verify Before Bidding
A source-aware guide from the GTH PRO global knowledge library.
Begin with the issuing authority
A tender aggregator can help you discover opportunities, but the buyer's official notice and tender documents define the rules. Capture the procurement reference, buyer identity, closing time, notice version and link to all attachments. Avoid starting a bid from a summarized listing alone, especially when the authority has published clarifications.
Separate mandatory criteria from scored preferences
Some notices impose strict prerequisites such as valid business registration, technical licences, prior contract values or turnover thresholds. Other sections describe qualitative evaluation factors. Missing a mandatory certificate can cause rejection even when your proposed price is attractive. Build a checklist based on the original document's exact language.
Check joint venture and subcontracting limits
Do not assume experience from an affiliate company or a subcontractor can satisfy the bidder's own eligibility criteria. Where consortium participation is allowed, examine membership rules, required agreements and whether financial or technical experience may be combined. These rules vary by authority.
Ask clarification questions early
If a criterion is ambiguous, use the official tender clarification procedure before its deadline. Keep the written answer or published corrigendum with the bid file. Informal advice from an unrelated person is not a substitute for a buyer-issued amendment.
Use GTH PRO responsibly
Start at Tender discovery, open the official source, and use the preparation assistant for a structured checklist. Optional tender services can provide scoped assistance, but GTH PRO cannot approve eligibility, issue official bids or guarantee award.
Research and next steps
Useful official, GTH PRO and supplier paths
These are contextual research and booking starting points. Government sources, platform guidance and supplier bookings are separate. Final prices, tickets, hotel rooms, bids and property status are never guaranteed by an article.
