6.6. Open Meetings

During the bid submission period, it is good practice to have interim open meetings with prospective bidders to present responses to the questions and facilitate the provision of any information relevant to the process (for example, if a government is retaining the responsibility for land expropriation, progress on this should be reported). Such meetings are usually held with all bidders collectively, although in some processes there may be separate meetings with each individual bidder. See section 8 for further information on the conduct of such meetings.
