Talk:Contract awarding

Merger proposal

As the first sentence indicates, contract awarding is just a stage within a procurement process, so it seems best to cover this material within the article on procurement. BobKilcoyne (talk) 15:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. No need for a separate article for contract awarding. EMsmile (talk) 20:45, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to merge this material into Invitation to tender, instead of procurement, as a better fit. BobKilcoyne (talk) 00:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I completely disagree. While it seems fine for the present, and a sparsely edited article, it is already a (tolerably) long article after the merger. But, knowing the topic, it is inescapable to take the length of a book, if it is not broken-up in a few years. Anyone with slight knowledge of the area will already be well aware that each part of the procedure has a long list of cases, issues, sub-issues, and all of these in many different contexts, as many as the countries and big entities of the world. I could long analyze here how long is the EU Directive only, let alone GPO, the local variations, the procedures in US, UK, India etc. I will not. If it seems small, only a page, it is only because presently it holds a very short summary of an important issue. In the new article, the types of tender do not contain all the types the EU alone is expecting that will be followed. Not to mention other entities, as the US, the World Bank, Japan etc. If the article about tenders is small this in not due to this article, but that no-one contributed to it, specially in "Types", prequalifications", context procedures (totally missing). ---Please revert. ---Alternatively, as small central with some more detailed articles under other titles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkis0 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also: some of the awarding procewdures are mainly used in other areas, such as the Exclusion of the Extremes in some types of auctions, like in some securities. These are awarding as an accepted limit setting, but not a tender procedure.Alkis0 (talk) 10:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
