Restricted Procedure is a formal procurement method used mainly in public sector tendering. It allows the buyer to limit the number of suppliers considered for a contract, inviting only selected vendors to submit detailed bids after an initial expression of interest phase. This approach is designed to reduce administrative burden by focusing on qualified suppliers, thus streamlining the evaluation process while maintaining competitive bidding.
