    2. 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
  2. Single
    1. What is single stage tendering?
      1. 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.
      2. 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.

      2. FLOAT REQD IN 2ND STAGE IF NEGOs = UNSUCCESSFUL
      3. MORE SUITABLE FOR LARGE COMPLEX PROJECTS
