Tender Notice in Newspaper — Compliance Checklist

A tender notice published in a newspaper is a legal invitation to bid. Any procedural lapse can invalidate the entire tender.

Mandatory Content Elements

Every tender notice must clearly state:

• Issuing authority and tender number
• Scope of work
• Estimated value / EMD
• Bid submission date and time
• Where and how to download the tender document

Where to Publish

CVC guidelines typically require at least one national English daily and one regional-language daily, with a second publication for tenders above a specified value.
