compulsory tendering

    0.03 sec.

compulsory tendering

Policy introduced by the UK Conservative government requiring local authorities and other public bodies to put out to tender work which might normally be done ‘in house’. This approach stemmed from a political conviction that the private sector was always more efficient and cost-effective than the public.

Critics of the practice would argue that a more pragmatic and less dogmatic attitude to public spending, where each case was treated on its individual merits, was more sensible.
