A Call For Competition is a formal invitation issued by an organization to potential suppliers, inviting them to participate in a bidding process for the provision of goods, services, or works. This process ensures transparency and fair competition, typically following defined public procurement procedures. The aim is to secure the best value for money by encouraging multiple suppliers to submit competitive tenders.
