What would you include in the tender package?

When a project reaches the Tender stage, the Designer needs to put together a set of information (the tender package) which will help the tenderers make an educated quotation for realising the works.

The information provided in the tender package is a combination of technical drawings and documents and will include:

  • An invitation letter to tender
    • Who the employer is
    • Outline of the works required
    • When work will commence and an anticipated practical completion date
    • The deadline of the tender return
    • A list of the enclosed documents of the tender package
  • Drawings (Illustrative)
  • Specification (Qualitative)
  • BoQ (Quantitative)
  • Form of tender
  • Pre-Construction Information (not always)
  • Designer’s Risk Assessment (not always – sometimes part of the PCI)

Additionally, for tendering in LPAs:

  • Return Envelope with only the LPA’s address printed.
