Procurement glossary

Eligibility

The mandatory requirements a bidder must meet to qualify — licenses, classifications, certifications, financials, and local content.

In depth

Eligibility is the pass/fail gate before evaluation. Bidding without meeting it wastes effort; identifying gaps early lets you fix them or find a partner who closes them.
