What is the bidder record?
Ok, I release it without so much formal roll:
The registration of bidders, basically, is like the VIP club where companies that want to curb with the public sector are pointed out to demonstrate that they are not a bush and that they can meet. It is public, anyone can look who is inside, and the idea is to make the entire topic of tenders faster, because you don't have to walk one hundred papers every time you want to opt for a contract. You know, less bureaucracy, less headaches.
This record is key in the world of public procurement. Because? Because it helps everything be more transparent and fair. Thus, all companies have the same opportunity to catch a contract, at least on paper. Signing here is like spending a previous filter: if you are inside, you can say that you have a level to compete.
What info are in the registry? Well, from the money handled by the company, until it has a technical muscle to do the job, through its official qualification. All this looks at the administration, do not think it is just to fill in a form and voila. They want to make sure they don't sneak any fudge.
Is it mandatory to sign up? In theory, no. But if you want to really tender, better yes, because it saves you time and takes away repeated paperwork. And be careful, to be on the list gives you more visibility; Administrations usually look there when they look for someone to buy or hire something.
Of course, do not flipe: being registered does not mean that they will give you the contract yes or yes. Then there is the part where you present your proposal and compete with the rest. Win the one that meets the requirements better and, well, the one that convinces more.
To register, it's time to meet a handful of legal and administrative requirements, which depend a little on the area, but they will always ask you to demonstrate that you have enough pasta, that you know what you do and that you have the appropriate classification.
Anyway, that the registration of bidders is a kind of Fast Pass: Curro saves you, show that you are worth, and if you are lucky and do it well, you will take a public contract under your arm. But it's not magic, huh.
