Tender

Project
Every document this tender produces — the invitation, the Form of
Tender, the specification — uses this brand. Set when the tender
was created; change it here if that was wrong.
Site address
Status
For SCA work, where the completion date is ours to aim at and the
contractor tells us by when he needs an order. Leave it off for CIF,
where the funding round sets the timetable — with it off, the
invitation, the Form of Tender and the Employer’s Requirements read
exactly as they did before.
The invitation states the aspiration and asks the tenderer the latest date
an order must be placed to achieve it. If the order is later than the date
he gives, the date for completion moves by the same number of days — so
neither of you absorbs the delay. Interim dates are reported against, not
enforced: Minor Works has no key dates.
A telephone number, an email address, or both — the sentence is written to
suit whichever you have. With no name here, both documents fall back to you,
taken from Practice settings. Remember these details go out to every
contractor on the list.

Site rules
DBS and supervision, contact with pupils, personal devices and images, working hours,
signing in, and induction. On by default. Turn it off only where the site is not occupied by pupils.
Confidentiality and publicity (A34/290) is always included.
A11 Tender and contract documents
Printed in three places — clause 4 of the invitation, A30/150 of the
Employer’s Requirements, and the Form of Tender — so they cannot disagree.
Where a client answers part of it on their procurement portal, say so on
the line: Programme and resource schedules (portal question).
A13 Description of the work
120 The works is taken from the Works summary on the Details tab, with a pointer to the scope of works.
A12 The site / existing buildings
Every clause is pre-filled with the standard wording. Change any that need it — only what you change is stored,
so if the standard wording is improved later, the clauses you haven't touched pick it up.
Tender documents
Each one is built from this tender as it stands and downloaded as a Word
file. Anything on screen is saved first, so what you are looking at is what
comes out. Nothing is issued from here — these are yours to check and send.
