Answer:- Thankyou for writing to us! As per your query, according to Public Procurement Rules, 2004 don’t put any limit on number of tenders/ bids received in response to tender notices provided that the procurement opportunity has been advertised in the prescribed manner. The single bid may be considered if it meets the evaluation criteria expressed in tender notice, brings value for money and is not in conflict with any other rules, regulations or policy of the Federal Government. However the procuring agency should make a decision with due diligence and in the light of Rule 4 “Principles of Procurement”.
