What is a public tender?

 

Surely if your target as a company owner is that your organization be hired as a country’s government supplier, either to federal, local, regional, district, municipal level, etc. would have heard several times the term “tender” or longer ones, and less common like “open public tender”, “closed public tender”, “open international tender”, “international tender under a treaty” among others; however, how is taken the term tender in Mexico?

To understand this legal entity turns out pertinent to observe the content of the Isolated Thesis in administrative matters with 171992 record number, which points out that a public tender’s legal nature lies in a call the Public Administration impersonally does to individuals so they make offers in order to carry out a contract, which according to the doctrine, has two known consequences:

First: That those who show and make an offer must strictly adjust to the terms fixed in the tender, being compelled to stick to them while it lasts, and

Second: That the government’s administration (in it different departments) can accept or reject the offer made, without any responsibility, as long as the procedure’s legality is respected.
