AWARDING OF THE CONTRACTS


It is the method used during a procurement in order to evaluate the proposals
(tender offers) taking part and award the relevant contract.
(10) SEVEN STAGES TENDER AWARD PROCESS

1. CONSULTATION, CONTRACT DESIGN AND PACKAGING


The consultation process is the first stage in setting up or renewing a
contract. It will normally occur sometime before the contract start date. For new
contracts, leading service providers are invited to share good practice and views on
our outline proposals. This allows the contract to be practically designed to the
required standard, enabling the provider to fully understand what is to be delivered
and to make it as easy as possible to achieve the requested standards in
performance. The process also informs how the contract is packaged in terms of
length, size, standards, development opportunities and financial structure.

2. CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION
The contract documentation generally includes three parts. The specification,
the terms and conditions of the contract, The pricing document
The specification
The specification describes the work and the standards that are
required. Procurement officers normally prepare it jointly with the relevant
council service to ensure that the proper process and technical input are
included in the specification. The consultation process will have determined
much of the content of the specification.

appointed contractor.
The pricing document

other supplementary information as appropriate to aid the bidder to submit
an informed tender.

is ready to start the project. There is a need to select the right contractor to do the
job. One procedure is to invite selected Contractors to a minimum number by
means of letters sent to them or to invite contractors to prequalify by means of an
Advertisement or Invitation to Bid.

tender may be advertised locally and/or in appropriate trade journals and on our
website. Depending upon the contract value, some contracts will also be advertised

two and one half percent (2 ) of the total bid price in the form of cash, certified

Bids.
A bid bond is important to show proof of guarantee to the project owner that you can comply with the
bid contract and also that you can accomplish the job as laid out in the contract. A bid bond is a
guarantee that you provide to the project owner stating that you have the capability to take on and
implement the project once you are selected during the bidding process. Normally, project owners do
not know if a contractor is financially stable or has the necessary resources to take on a project.
However, because of a bid bond, they will be more comfortable to award a project to a contractor
knowing that if the project fails, they can collect compensation from the surety bond.
