Running a ‘mini-tender’

In order to run a ‘mini-tender’ or ‘call-off-contract’ some process steps are involved.

Fill in the template mini-tender document available at http://www.heanet.ie/sites/default/files/TemplateMinitenderStorageHW.docx

You may also like to use the spreadsheet template at http://www.heanet.ie/sites/default/files/StorageHWTemplate.xls

Email the completed document to

heanet-storage-hw-minitender@listserv.heanet.ie. This will email all participants.

When the mini-tender is completed you will need to notify the Tenderers of the outcome and also use a call off contract.

A sample one maybe found at www.heanet.ie/sites/default/files/Template-call-off-contract.doc

Note that while you are preparing your documentation there is no impediment to you emailing heanet-storage-hw-minitender@listserv.heanet.ie to notify all participants that you are planning to run a mini-tender in the near future.
