Frequently asked questions
- What is included in a Bill of Quantities? A Bill of Quantities itemises the measured work in a project, with descriptions, units and quantities for each item, plus preliminaries, provisional sums and contingencies, so tenderers can price on a like-for-like basis.
- What is the difference between single-stage and two-stage tendering? Single-stage tendering prices the full scheme in one competition. Two-stage tendering appoints a contractor early on preliminaries and overheads, then develops and prices the works collaboratively in the second stage.
- How are tenders evaluated? Tenders are usually scored against published price and quality criteria, with the most economically advantageous tender selected. Evaluation also checks compliance, qualifications, risk and arithmetic accuracy.
- What is value engineering? Value engineering reviews a design or specification to achieve the required function at lower whole-life cost, without compromising quality, safety or performance.
