A Letter Of Intent For Tender Participation is a crucial preliminary document used in the Dutch tender process when organizations plan to bid for contracts, particularly in public procurement scenarios. It serves multiple purposes: formally declaring the intention to participate in the tender, establishing basic collaboration terms between consortium partners if applicable, and addressing confidentiality requirements. The document must comply with Dutch law, including the Dutch Public Procurement Act 2012 (Aanbestedingswet 2012) and relevant EU directives. It's particularly important in complex tenders where multiple parties may be involved or where significant resources need to be committed to the bid preparation. While maintaining certain non-binding elements, it creates a framework for tender participation and can help define the relationship between participating parties during the tender process.
