PIN timescales

last updated: 8th August 2011

The publication of a Prior Information Notice or use of a Living PIN is only compulsory were the contracting authority wishes to take advantage of the permitted reduction in timescales that are available with its publication.

The reduction in timescales is applicable to the open and restricted procedures.

To avail of the shortened timescales, the PIN notice must have been published no less than 52 days or more than 12 months prior to the publication of the contract notice.

Note: it is not necessary to avail of the shortened timescales.  If a PIN has been placed within the specified period, then the option to shorten is available.  you should ask yourself, however, if shortening the response time is likely to hinder the ability of potential suppliers to prepare their best possible submissions.
