Ah, I think I've got this one. Open tendering requires engaging with a wider pool of suppliers, which would logically increase the administrative workload. I'm confident the correct answer is True.

This seems like a tricky one. The question is asking about a "substantial" burden, which is a bit vague. I'll have to weigh the potential administrative requirements to determine if it's truly substantial. Gonna have to think this through.
