Ausschreibung

The formal process a company uses to invite providers to bid.

Definition

In a tender, the buyer discloses their requirements and invites providers to submit an offer. There are two worlds: public tenders (government bodies, governed by procurement law) and private tenders, where companies design the process themselves. In practice a tender often runs in stages: from market exploration (RFI) through the actual request for a proposal (RFP) to the price request (RFQ). For IT-related services it increasingly includes a security questionnaire and evidence of certificates, data protection and regulation.

In a tender it isn't always the best provider who wins, but the one who answers best. The buyer compares providers in a structured and often anonymised way: whoever answers completely, on time and convincingly moves forward; whoever dodges or misses a deadline is out. The catch is the sheer volume. A single tender bundles questions on service, price, references, security and compliance, and the answers are scattered across different people on the team. That's exactly why it eats so much time: answering isn't the hard part, gathering the information is. And because many questions repeat across tenders, the same effort is done over and over from scratch.
