Negotiated Procedure Clause Samples
The Negotiated Procedure clause defines a process by which parties can engage in direct discussions to reach an agreement on contract terms, rather than following a standard or open bidding process. Typically, this clause allows the contracting authority to invite selected suppliers to negotiate specific aspects such as price, delivery, or technical requirements, often in situations where the complexity or uniqueness of the contract makes open competition impractical. Its core function is to provide flexibility in procurement or contracting, enabling tailored solutions and potentially faster agreements when standard procedures are not suitable.
Negotiated Procedure. The contracting authorities invite simultaneously and in writing the tenderers of their choice to negotiate the terms of the contract. The written communication shall be the means by which the contracting authorities make known their intention to launch procurement procedures. In negotiated procedures the number of candidates invited to negotiate shall not be less than four. In any event, the number of candidates invited shall be sufficient to ensure genuine competition.

Public notice is required in accordance with 3.5 unless an exemption applies. A pre-qualification questionnaire is normally issued to all those expressing interest. An invitation to negotiate is only issued to those successful after pre-qualification.
