Receiving Tenders

Tenders for constructional works may be obtained either in competition or by negotiation. Choice of the most suitable procedure is one of the most important decisions to be taken at an early stage and one of the matters on which the Quantity Surveyor’s advice is most valuable. He can advise on the selection of suitable firms to be invited to tender, according to the type and size of a job and the general standard of workmanship and skills that may be required. When tenders have been obtained, the Quantity Surveyor checks them to see that no substantial errors have been made, ensuring that no contract is entered into on basis of seriously incorrect quotation. He then submits a detailed report on the tenders to the client. The advice the Quantity Surveyor gives in the selection of contractors and obtaining tenders is applied to the choice of nominated sub-contractors and suppliers, and obtaining quotation from them.
