What is a Corrigendum on IREPS and Why It Matters

A corrigendum is an official amendment to a published tender, and missing one is one of the most avoidable ways to lose a bid opportunity entirely.

Corrigenda can modify almost any aspect of a tender — deadlines, specifications, eligibility criteria, or EMD amounts — meaning a bid prepared against the original document alone could be non-compliant with the actual, current requirements.

Vendors are generally responsible for actively checking for corrigenda themselves rather than assuming they'll be separately notified — passive monitoring is a real risk.

Before final submission, it's worth explicitly re-checking the tender's corrigendum history to confirm your bid reflects every amendment, not just the originally published terms.
