Depending upon the value of a proposed tender exercise, it will be necessary to advertise the requirement to ensure there is sufficient competition and opportunity for potential tenderers to know about the tender. Your institution will have financial thresholds at which different advertising requirements will apply and this information will be available on your procurement web site.
In general, the requirements will be:
- All requirements where the estimated value is above the appropriate EU threshold will be advertised in the OJEU.
- Where your institution has a ‘Living PIN’ portion to its procurement web-site, all tenders with an estimated value above a lower level, say £25,000, will be advertised.
Note: When publishing a contract notice in the OJEU and quoting a URL where the economic operator will obtain the tender documentation, this link must go directly to the the additional information that specifically relates to the contract opportunity and not be used as a means of advertising an intermediary's services and/or soliciting registration with the intermediary. OGC has published further information on the use of providers of this type of service, called Use of Intermediaries [pdf 40kb].
It is important that the means of advertising is appropriate and sufficient to ensure genuine competition.
