The ACSA default position is that all briefing sessions are compulsory, therefore more than 90% of our tenders require compulsory attendance to a briefing session. In exceptional cases, the evaluation committee will deviate from this by issuing a tender without a briefing session or with an optional briefing session, however these deviations are too few and too far apart to mention.
