4.2.1
For matters related to tendering that are typically dealt with
at this stage, refer to the chapter ‘Contractor Engagement’ at
page 313.
4.2.2
If acting as project lead, review any proposals for work by
subcontractors or suppliers.
In projects where there are to be many specialist subcontractors,
particularly where these are undertaking some design obligations, it
may be necessary to initiate some tender action for subcontractors
at an early stage. This will enable design proposals to be integrated
into the overall design and quotations to be checked against the cost
plan. This information may be needed before the main contract tender
documentation can be finalised.
4.2.3
Review/update standing lists or register of specialist tenderers
and check you have written confirmation from the client for their
inclusion. Check willingness and availability of firms included
as listed subcontractors and, if necessary, decide on additional
names.
4.2.4
Initiate tender action for quotations from specialist
subcontractors and suppliers if appropriate.
Check tender invitation documents for sending to specialists.
Invite further tenders as appropriate.
When inviting tenders for specialist subcontract work that includes a
design element, make certain that the client consents in writing, and that
their interests are properly protected by warranty.
4.2.5
Inspect tenders and information submitted by specialist
subcontractors and suppliers.
Refer specialist tenders to the CDM coordinator and relevant
consultants for comment.
Refer all tenders to the cost consultant for cost checking.
Approve specialist tenders and notify all tenderers of this
decision.
