This unit explores the features and practices associated with this critical part of the construction process.  \nTendering is often a complex operation. You are trying to achieve a price for the project that meets with the client’s budget and expectations of quality and time to completion. It is also a process that must be carefully managed and monitored to ensure that all parties involved are treated equally and that prices are based on the same information. This ensures that an evaluation of the submitted tenders can be conducted consistently and equitably. Ultimately, the aim of the tender process is to arrive at an agreed price for a defined amount of work to be undertaken, and this will inform the procurement process.  \nAs a process, tendering will often involve two different areas of activity. The first is the client obtaining the services of a main contractor to undertake the project. The second is the main contractor obtaining the services of subcontractors to undertake specialist works that the main contractor cannot directly undertake.  \nProcurement is the second part of this unit and considers the process of obtaining the services of a main contractor and their subcontractors. The two are linked by the fact that the method oftender and the procurement route will influence each other. For example, a design and build project may require that a client does not want to take on the design risk and wishes to hand this over to the main contractor. This can be done by selecting a negotiated tendering process that is two-stage and then procuring a contractor for the second stage; to take forward the project on a negotiated rate for the work.  \n6  \n\n| 9781839612664. indd 6 | 21/02/2020 11:44 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nExploring Learning Outcomesand Assessment Criteria  \nThrough this section of the Study Guide we will examine each LO in more detail, We will seek to establish an approach to exploring the associated Essential Content and how this may inform our understanding of the relationship between the Essential Content and the Assessment Criteria, that will be used to measure our achievement of the learning outcome.  \nThis unit contains four learning outcomes as follows  \n1. Define what constitutes a tender and the information required for this process.  \n2. Explain the procedures and contractual arrangements for tendering.  \n3. Analyse the factors that affect the selection of construction procurement methods.  \n4. Calculate an estimate for a work activity.  \nLO1 Define what constitutes a tender and the information required for this process  \nEssential Content  \nTopic: Information required to produce a tender  \nWhat information (drawings, specification, schedules) are necessary to include in a tender package?  \nDoes the tender process need to be managed formally?  \nHow will you confirm what you have sent?  \nHow can you record the whole process to ensure integrity of tenders?  \nHow many drawings do you send?  \nCan tendering be done paperless?  \nWill a site visit be required?  \n13  \n9781839612664. indd 13 21/02/2020 11:44  \n\n| Things to Remember |\n| --- |\n| A tender can take many different forms and needs to be formally defined; often using defined standards and methods; either institutionally-defined, industrystandards, or government required.\u003Cbr>Tendering must be a fair and equal process for all; so no complaints can be raised if a public contract is been tendered.
