It never ceases to amaze me that people can’t follow basic instructions…
When a tender says “Please send all questions via email to…” why are bidders not able to do this? At the moment I am involved with one where everyone from the cleaner to the incumbent provider is being emailed with questions – rather silly as it shows your hand somewhat!
What it does demonstrate is this: “Would you purchase £100,000s worth of goods and services from an organisation where the staff can’t even follow basic instructions?” – IMHO incompetence means immediate disqualification from the tender process…
Oh and for those of you not familiar with the title, its Read The Flippin’ Specification (ruder versions are available!)
