for the works
- Used when it is desired to obtain the benefits of competition and have
the advantage of bringing a contractor into the planning of the project
and g
- Single
- What is single stage tendering?
- Advantages of Single T?
- Cost certainty
- early contractual
commitment on
price
- prevent the project team from
proceeding to construction without a
complete design
- funders value the agreed
contract sum as it gives
greater security to an
application for loans or
grants
- Risk allocation
- The client and contractor have a
clear statement of risk allocation in
the contract.
- Avoidance of cost escalation
during second-stage
tendering
- The contractor is not given an
opportunity to revisit the
pricing.
- Competitive pricing
- The full scope of work is priced in
competition with other bidders.
- Cost of tendering
- When available, pricing documents provided
by the employer simplify the bidding process.
- Collaborativeworking
- A complete, well-documented
design provides a clear
demarcation of design and
construction responsibilities
- Client influence over the selection
of specialists
- Keeping the client at arm’s length
over the selection of the contractor’s
team helps to clarify the allocation of
risk in the contract.
- Overall speed of project
- Timescales are known and there
should be less opportunity for
extended negotiation during the
tender period than with a two-stage
approach.
- Disadvantages of single?
- Cost certainty
- firm price is only as good as the design information
- Changes introduced by the client or design team
will undermine the certainty achieved with a
lump-sum tender
- Risk allocation
- The contractor’s offer of risk transfer may have little
value if its assessment of costs, programme or working
method is incorrect
- Avoidance of cost escalation
during second-stage tendering
- Second-stage tendering helps the contractor to
understand the design.
- The use of provisional items as a substitute for a complete design can
give the contractor a “second-stage” pricing opportunity.
- Competitive pricing
- Competitive pressure may encourage
tenderers to take risks in their pricing.
- The tenderer’s bids are based on logistics
options prescribed in the tender
documentation and may not represent the
best value solution.
- Cost of tendering
- Single-stage bids are more resource-intensive and,
relative to the spend, tenderers have a lower
chance of winning a job.
- Collaborative working
- Single-stage traditional procurement offers limited scope for a
team to develop a shared objective or for a contractor to
contribute to design develop
- Competitive tendering and lump-sum contracts
can lead to adversarial behaviour related to the
effects of changes to the agreed scope of work
- Overall speed of project
- Sequential design and construction
removes opportunities for acceleration of
the overall programme.
- Clarification of contractor’s proposals
related to contractor-designed work may
take an extended period of time.
- Receipt of tenders above budget
could delay the project as redesign
and re-pricing must be completed
before the contract sum is agreed
- No work can commence before
the contract sum is agreed.
- Client influence over the
selection of specialists
- The client has a limited opportunity to
influence the selection of specialist
contractors.
- Two Stage
- what is the purpose of the first stage?
- what is the purpose of the second stage?
- what do tenderers return as apart of the 2nd stage?
- are there any precautions to take when entering the 2nd stage?
- Advantages
- EARLY INVOLVEMENT OF
CONTRACTOR AND BUILDABILITY
ADVICE
- ASSISTANCE FROM Cr WITH DSN DEV.
- RELATIONSHIPS BUILT WITH Cr & DSN
TEAM
- POST CONTRACT RISK = Cr
- 1ST STAGE GIVES LIKELY COST AT
EARLY STAGE
- Cr APPOINTMENT AHEAD OF
TRAD ROUTE
- Disadvantages
- SECOND STAGE TENDER SUM WILL
NOT BE AS COMPETITIVE AS FULL BQs
- FLOAT REQD IN 2ND STAGE IF
NEGOs = UNSUCCESSFUL
- MORE SUITABLE FOR LARGE
COMPLEX PROJECTS
- UNDERCUT AT 1ST
STAGE, RETRIEVE AT 2ND
