How
to submit bids for Government of Newfoundland and Labrador tenders.
Subject
to the General Terms and Conditions of the Government of Newfoundland
and Labrador.
Here's how you receive and complete your tender forms for Newfoundland
and Labrador tenders: $5000 and above.
Internet
(E-Mail)
As tenders are issued by the Government Purchasing Agency, you
automatically receive all the standard tender forms by E-Mail.
You may elect to browse through them on your computer to decide
which ones you want to complete, then print the ones you wish
to have in hard copy. Each tender will be on a separate form,
which is an official document. You will notice that your name
will already appear on the form as the bidding company. All you
have to do is complete your bid, sign the form and submit it to
the purchaser's office before the closing date.
In the case of tenders that require additional documents, you
will only receive notification of the tender. You will be told
in each case what the tender is about, and how much it will cost
to order the package. The package will include the tender form
with your name and address, as well as all attachments. You can
request that the package be sent by courier, or be held for pick-up
at the BIDS office in St. JohnÌs , NF. The cost for the
package will be deducted from your deposit account.
Addenda to any tenders will be automatically sent to you by E-Mail.
This may be as an addendum notice or it may be a re-issue of the
original tender. As an Internet subscriber, you also have the
ability to electronically access the entire data bank of outstanding
tenders. Should you find a tender you wish to complete, you can
select the "I wish to order this tender" option, and
the tender ordering screen will appear. When you complete the
information requested on the screen, we will receive your request
by E-Mail, and will in turn send you the requested tender document
by E-Mail. It will be, again, complete with your company name
and address. This same form can be used to order: "additional
tender documents" where they are required as part of the
tender.
Fax
As a fax subscriber you automatically receive all the standard
tender forms by fax. Each tender will be on a separate form, which
is an official tender document. You will notice that your name
will already appear on the form as the bidding company. All you

the purchaser's office before the closing date.
You will receive notification only of special forms tenders. You
will be told in each case what the tender is about, and how much

as all attachments. You can request that the package be sent by
courier, or be held for pick-up at the BIDS office in St. JohnÌs,
