What is a Mandatory Bidders Meeting?

A Mandatory Bidders Meeting is a meeting organized by a project owner or contracting authority where potential bidders must attend to obtain critical information about a project or procurement opportunity. This meeting typically covers project specifications, requirements, and bidding procedures, ensuring all participants have a clear understanding of the expectations. Attendance is often a prerequisite for submitting a bid, as it helps to level the playing field among bidders and encourages transparency in the bidding process.
