The procurement agency prepares the invitation for bids, describing the requirements clearly and accurately and avoiding unnecessarily restrictive specifications or requirements that might unduly limit the number of bidders. The "invitation" includes a complete assembly of related documents(whether attached or incorporated by reference) furnished to prospective bidders for the purpose of obtaining bids. Publicizing the invitation for bids is usually done sufficiently in advance of actual purchase to enable all interested contractors to be aware of the opportunity. This publicity is accomplished by means of distribution to prospective bidders... 4, record 2, English, - prospective%20bidder

Revolving credit arrangement in the Euromarket, whereby the borrower issues short-term promissory notes (Euronotes) in its own name, generally with maturities of three to six months. 3, record 3, English, - note%20issuance%20facility
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A group of underwriting banks guarantees the availability of funds by agreeing to purchase any unsold notes at each rollover date, or by writing a standby line of credit. NIFs offer companies the flexibility of short-term financing, and give lenders an opportunity to meet credit needs of borrowers without being required to purchase any unsold notes. The revolving line of credit is often negotiated through a single bank that in turn sells participations to other members of the underwriting syndicate. 3, record 3, English, - note%20issuance%20facility
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
NIF: Note issuance facility. It is difficult to determine when this term was first used but, like "RUF", has become for many the generic term for all manner of euronote issuance facilities irrespective of distribution method. It refers in its accepted sense to a facility using the tender panel distribution method. 4, record 3, English, - note%20issuance%20facility
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
