Global tender enquiry is a bigger domain version of the Open Tender in the sense that while Open tender is considered applicable within the country, Global tender has the world as its reach. It is adopted for cases where imported goods are also in view.

Procedure for issuing Global tender enquiry is similar to that of the OT but with much wider publicity and with more lead time for prospective tenderers to quote
