Document background
The Tender Decline Letter is a crucial document in the procurement process under English and Welsh law, used when an organization needs to formally communicate the rejection of a tender submission. This document serves multiple purposes: it ensures compliance with procurement regulations, maintains transparency, provides necessary feedback to unsuccessful bidders, and helps maintain professional relationships. The letter typically includes the tender reference, reason for decline, and may include detailed feedback or an offer for a debrief session. It must be carefully drafted to avoid potential legal challenges while providing clear communication about the decision.
