4. Deal with tenders
Tenders should be opened as soon as possible after the date for receipt and
strictly in accordance with the procedures agreed with the client.
With a one-stage procedure where price is stated to be the sole criterion,
supporting design proposals and pricing documents should be submitted at
the same time but under separate cover.
With a two-stage procedure the tender will also include an undertaking to enter
into second-stage negotiations on the basis of the first-stage tender sum.
The examination of the Contractor’s Proposals and pricing documents will
be undertaken by the employer, the CDM coordinator and other professional
advisers, to establish that the proposals are consistent with the Employer’s
Requirements.
Unsuccessful tenderers should be informed as quickly as possible, and all
documents received should be treated as confidential, and returned.
