During the bidding process, you may indeed encounter some unexpected things that may affect the smooth progress of the bidding. Here are some of the uncommon but noteworthy things you may encounter in a bidding process:
1. Change of bidding deadline.
Sometimes, the tenderer may temporarily change the bid deadline for various reasons (such as changes in requirements, internal process adjustments, etc.), which may cause distress for the bidder as they need to readjust the bid preparation plan.
2. The clarification of the bidding documents is insufficient.
The solicitation documents may be ambiguous, incomplete or ambiguous. If bidders encounter difficulties in understanding the solicitation documents, it may result in bids that do not meet the requirements or be misunderstood.
3. Policy changes.
Changes in the policy environment may also affect the bidding process. For example, there may be a sudden change to the policy, causing a bid that would otherwise meet the requirements to become non-compliant with the new policy.
In order to avoid the negative impact of these unexpected things on the bidding, it is recommended that the bidder fully understand the bidding documents and requirements before participating in the bidding, plan the bidding preparation in advance, and pay close attention to policy changes and the dynamics of the tenderer.
