What is a non-conforming tender?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A non-conforming tender doesn't meet the requirements set out in the tender documents. It might miss deadlines, fail to include requested info, or not follow the format. This can lead to disqualification from the selection process.
Key points
- Doesn't meet tender document requirements.
- Can miss deadlines or info requests.
- May not follow required format.
Non-conforming tenders can waste time for both the contractor and the client. If your tender doesn't tick all the boxes, it might get tossed out without even being considered. Always double-check the requirements before submitting.
