Abstract
The previous two chapters have outlined the objectives and strategies of two of the major interest groups in the current debate. In order to understand the nature of local tendering exercises, it is also necessary to examine the procedural routines and issues involved in competitive tendering. This chapter is devoted to a closer examination of the tendering process itself. It describes the mechanics of individual stages of the process, and then moves to an analysis of the major issues surrounding the process as a whole.
