Under the procurement legislation, a contracting authority has a free choice between the open and restricted procedures.
Competitive dialogue can be used when the open or restricted procedure will not allow the award of the contract. Its use is intended where projects are highly complex and the legal and financial structure cannot be determined without a dialogue with suppliers. The dialogue will generate a number of diverse solutions to the requirement. Each of which is then evaluated against the published award criteria.
Competitive dialogue should be considered before the negotiated procedure. In the negotiated procedure, a single solution is developed to meet the need, each tenderer then submits its bid to provide the identified solution.
The dynamic purchasing system may be considered by institutions that can manage the tender process by completely electronic means. It is likely to be of benefit where the supply market is reasonably static - this is due to the openness of the process where new suppliers can apply to join the system at any stage during its life.
