2. Approve contractor selection plan

1. Publish tender notice and prepare bidding documents

3. Review bid documents before submission
4. Submit bid
5. Monitor requests for clarification from the bid solicitor
6. Monitor invitation for contract negotiation
7. The bid solicitor conducts approval procedures
8. Prepare response documents upon receiving acceptance notice
