An Invitation To Tender (ITT) is a
procurement document prepared by agencies who wish to receive tenders
from contractors or vendors. An ITT generally includes a costing, time
estimate, and specifications of what’s required from the bidder.
ITTs have a deadline by which all tenders must be made. Tenders are then
opened and the company making the offer chooses the best offer. Tender
documents can be ‘sealed’ which means that they are private or public.
Invitations To Tender are often used in the construction industry, but
are also used in contracts for the supply of goods or services.
