How are tenders published?

Public tenders are basically the "casting" of the State to get goods or services without falling into rare friends. That is, they look for the best at the best price and without trap, right? It's like when you are looking for cheap flights: you look at a thousand pages and in the end you stay with which you get more on account. Well here the same, but with public money.

Where is this entire roll published? Easy. Almost everything moves on electronic hiring platforms. They are official websites where tenders hang and companies can gossip and sign up if they are interested. If you are a company and you do not have an account there, or dream of participating, because you do not find out. In addition, that is where the coolest and updated info is, so nothing to look for in Google to see if the flute sounds.

Then there is the classic: the official newsletters, type the BOE or the one that touches according to the country or the region. They are like official newspapers where all the legal, laws, ads, and yes, tenders are published too. It is mandatory to publish them there, even if we admit it: few people read it for pleasure, but it is what there is.

Sometimes, when the contract is huge or very striking, you see even in the press or in some large half. But that is when the thing is fat or they want him to find out to the fifth neighbor.

The process? Well look, first the public entity curds the documents: what they look for, how they want it, requirements, and all that bureaucracy that nobody reads complete. When they have it ready, they upload it to the electronic platform on duty. And there begins the race: the companies that want to participate check the papers, prepare their offer and, if they are registered and have all their roles in order (that if fiscal, labor certificates, to the library card if you neglect), they can present their proposal.

Eye, the time to present offers is usually limited. It is not forever, huh. Usually, you have some week and, if you hang, you were left out. And then, nothing, to cross your fingers and wait to see if they choose you.

In summary: If you are a company and want to catch something from the public sector, you have to be an Avizor eye on electronic platforms and official newsletters. Arrives prepared, because the competition is hard and time runs. And yes, all this is going to seek transparency and real competition, although sometimes the bureaucracy wants to tear off your hair. Easy? Not much. Important? A lot.
