Can the lack of index or pagination be the cause of exclusion?

Let's see, in the world of public tenders and all this roll of contracts with the government, there is something that never fails: details matter, and much more than one wants to admit. Look, the existential doubt of whether can be back just because your proposal has no index or because you forgot to number the pages. It sounds ridiculous, but it happens.

Legally, the truth is that there is no written law that says: "Hey, if you don't put index or pagination, go straight to the street." No, that is not. But don't trust yourself either. The real movement is that, even if it is not mandatory, to leave those details is to play the Russian roulette. The bidding processes are a jungle; Any thing can serve the review table to put a heel to your proposal and move on to the next.

Can you exclude you just for that? It depends. Each organism has its own genius and sometimes the basis of the tender are stricter than your math teacher in high school. Some do not flinch, others don't even read you if they don't see everything beautiful and ordered. There is no universal rule, and that is just what makes it so dangerous.

Think that if you do not put index, the poor who check your paperwork will have to look blindly, and that is not funny to anyone. No pagination, worse. Imagine that they ask you to clarify something and you don't even know what page it is. You end up sweating cold because of a detail that was very easy to solve from the beginning.

And, although no one tells you in front, if your proposal seems made to the race or with laziness, the same and takes a bad impression. The presentation counts, and in many competitions, if there is technical tie, details such as these can tip the balance.

Summarizing without so much roll: it is not that it is law, but it is an unwritten rule. If you want to survive in the wild world of public tenders, put index, number the pages and that everything looks professional. Not only is it for you, it is the one who reads you, and believe me, it will thank you. So don't play it. Do it well from the beginning and remove unnecessary headaches. Easy, right?
