(1A) Notwithstanding subsection (1), an invitation for bids may, in case a
prior bidding exercise has been unsuccessful, be issued without a prequalification exercise.
(2) In other cases of particularly high value or complex procurement,
such as in the case of an industrial plant, a public body may engage in prequalification proceedings, with a view to identifying bidders that are qualified, before the invitation to bid.
(3) Where pre-qualification proceedings are held, the public body shall
provide pre-qualification documents to all bidders responding to the invitation
to pre-qualify, so as to provide them with the information required to prepare
and submit applications for pre-qualification.
(4) On the completion of pre-qualification proceedings, the public body
shall promptly make available to every applicant a list of the applicants who
have been successfully pre-qualified.
