Tenderer Information sheet

A Tenderer Information Sheet is a document used in procurement and bidding to collect key details about a bidder. It helps the tendering authority review the bidder’s identity, qualifications, experience, and capacity to perform the proposed work. Our ready-to-use templates provide a starting point for organizing this information and can be adapted to the requirements of a particular tender.

The primary purpose of a Tenderer Information Sheet is to provide a structured format for gathering relevant information about bidders. It supports consistent assessment within a tender process by presenting comparable information from each participant.

The sheet should be read alongside the tender instructions, evaluation criteria, and other procurement documents. It does not replace the conditions of tender or the eventual contract.

(Create a sample sheet below)

Its contents should reflect the nature of the project, the information requested by the tendering authority, and applicable requirements.

Information Commonly Included

The Tenderer Information Sheet generally contains current business details and information relevant to the bidder’s ability to deliver the work. Typical sections include:

• Registered business name and trading name
• Business address and contact details
• Registration or identification numbers, where required
• Authorized representative’s name and position
• Company background and profile
• Relevant experience and completed projects
• Organizational structure
• Key personnel and their qualifications
• Relevant licenses, certifications, or supporting documents
• Declarations requested by the tendering authority

Include only the details required for the procurement process and clearly identify any supporting documents that must accompany the sheet.

Submission Requirements

The tender documents should explain how the information sheet must be completed and submitted. These instructions may specify required fields, document formats, submission deadlines, and signature requirements.

Tenderers should check that their entries are accurate, current, and consistent with the rest of their bid. Missing information or unexplained discrepancies may require clarification during the review process.

Information Disclosure and Confidentiality

Confidentiality and disclosure arrangements depend on the applicable rules and the tender documents. Avoid assuming that all submitted information will remain confidential or that particular categories must always be disclosed.

Tenderers may be asked to identify information they consider confidential and explain why disclosure could cause harm. Such a request does not automatically establish that the information will be withheld. It must be considered through the applicable process.

The tendering authority should explain how information will be handled, including any circumstances in which disclosure may be required.

Commercially Sensitive Information

Some information submitted by tenderers may be commercially sensitive, including:

• Proprietary business strategies or trade secrets
• Unique methods, processes, or technologies
• Non-public pricing methods or detailed cost information
• Confidential customer information
• Other business information whose disclosure could harm the tenderer’s competitive position

The sensitivity of this information should be considered in context. A general confidentiality label does not explain why every part of a submission requires protection. Where confidentiality is requested, identify the specific information and provide a clear justification.

Balancing Transparency and Confidentiality

Tender documentation should support a fair evaluation while allowing appropriate handling of sensitive information. Relevant considerations may include:

• The nature of the information
• Whether it is already publicly available
• The potential impact of disclosure
• Applicable disclosure obligations and confidentiality provisions

Clear instructions and carefully completed records help reduce misunderstandings about how tenderer information will be used and shared.
