Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. The guide is practical information for tender teams. Check the tender documents and obtain legal advice when a deadline or remedy may affect your rights.
Key takeaway
Thresholds decide which procedure applies, and the procedure decides how a bidder gets access. Knowing both saves wasted effort on the wrong opportunities.
