The implications of the judgement are that:
i. Tender awards effected outside the factors stated in the bidding package are illegal and reviewable;
ii. An invitation to tender package, once issued constitutes an offer to all potential bidders;
iii. As soon as bidders submit their tenders, a contract known as a process/bid contract comes into existence; and
iv. The second contract is known as the substantive contract which is for performance of the work bid for.
