- Eligibility
Eligibility is a concept related to the tender applicant's ability to meet all the conditions and criteria required by the announcing entity to participate in the competition. Eligibility is a fundamental requirement to ensure the participation of suppliers or contractors who are capable of executing the project or providing services in accordance with the announcing entity’s requirements.
Eligibility includes the following aspects:
- Legal Aspects: Ensuring that the company applying is legally registered and has the necessary permits and licenses to operate in the specified field.
- Technical Capability: Checking for the existence of human resources, equipment, and previous experience in similar projects.
- Financial Capability: Ensuring that the applicant has the financial capacity to execute the project without faltering.
- Compliance with Standards: Such as adherence to required quality and classification standards.
Eligibility is usually specified in the tender documents, which include a list of requirements that the applicant must meet. In some cases, applicants may be required to provide additional documents such as certificates of previous achievements, financial statements, and performance reports.
The eligibility verification process is conducted either as part of the pre-qualification phase, where bids that do not meet the requirements are disqualified before the opening of bids or as part of subsequent qualification to ensure the winning applicant continues to meet the standards.
The importance of eligibility lies in ensuring the selection of participants who have the necessary competence to execute the project efficiently and with quality. The announcing entity is responsible for verifying eligibility to ensure the integrity of the process and to protect public funds or financial resources.
Failure to achieve eligibility means immediate disqualification of the bid. Therefore, applicant companies should carefully review the conditions and ensure compliance with all requirements before submitting their bids.
