Open competitions: what is it?

The modern world assumes the existence of both a wide choice of services and goods, as well as organizations that are ready to fulfill and provide them. However, most customers prefer to compare these companies. As a consequence, these processes guarantee the fullest match of the performer's capabilities to a wide range of requirements of the employer. All the above actions can be characterized by one capacious phrase "Open competitions". So, what exactly is meant by this concept?

Definition and features

This term is a kind of competition on a competitive basis, in which both physical and legal persons can take part, as well as their voluntary associations created specifically for obtaining municipal or state contracts, orders and other things. The winner is selected by the most competent jury, which includes the representative of the contracting party. Open competitions have their own distinctive features. For example, in comparison with closed tenders, they stand out as an important feature: absolutely any suppliers of materials, goods and services can take part in them. In addition, open competitions are available at all stages of the process, which guarantees the most honest approach to choosing a winner. It should be remembered that all state trades are held precisely in the form described above.

The scheme

Consider this option, in which you wanted to build a hotel complex. What is required for this? Of course, a lot of furniture, trained staff, significant investments and ... a building in which all this will be located. However, you will not independently engage in the construction and decoration of premises, laying electrical networks, ventilation ducts and other. Like any other person, you will prefer to hire more competent specialists in these matters. Here open contests come to the rescue. You just need to make a proper application, where the cost of the contract, terms of performance, required quality and other conditions will be indicated. Further, possible contractors submit their applications for participation in the tender, and then a specially drawn up tender committee deals with their consideration and selection of the most suitable candidate. It should be remembered that during open tenders it is necessary to pay for the application before the full package of documents is submitted. So, subject to the above conditions and rules, your tender for the construction of the hotel complex will be successfully carried out.

Required documents

As mentioned earlier, a standard package of securities should be provided for such contests, including:

1. Substantiation of the initial cost of the tender for the right to execute the contract;
2. Technical assignment to the contractor;
3. Criteria for evaluating applications;
4. Contract for the performance of the required work;
5. Order "On placing an order for the right to conclude a contract."
