With regard to procurement legislation, is it legally permissible for a variant bid to be accepted?

CIPS_Expert · 22 February 2013 13:33

This is dependent upon the specific circumstances of the case. A variant bid may be accepted when the contracting authority is assessing bids on the basis of the most economically advantageous criterion, and when it has been indicated in the contract that such variant bids will be considered.
