What is a go / no-go decision on a tender?
A go / no-go decision is an early bid-worthiness call: whether the company should invest in a full response. It weighs eligibility gates, hard technical limits, commercial risk, timeline, and strategic fit—not whether every Excel cell is already filled.Details
Typical go inputs
- Can we legally bid (registration, geography, partner)?
- Any hard limits we clearly fail?
- Delivery / installation timeline realistic?
- Margin and capacity vs bid cost?
Go / no-go is not
- Formal match — Deep row-by-row compliance
- Rank score — Coarse product shortlist quality
- Award probability — Optional analytics; not the decision itself
