What is an Invitation to Bid (ITB)?
An Invitation to Bid (referred to as ITB) is an invitation for suppliers, through a bidding process, to submit a proposal on a specific product or service on State contracts. If not stated otherwise, the supplier with the lowest bid is awarded the contract, provided that they meet the minimum criteria for the bid. Details of the ITB process can be found in Title 29, Chapter 69, (specifically ยง 6923) “Competitive Sealed Bidding”, Sub-Section (e) of the Delaware Code.
