Assignment Brief and Guidance

The Guidance:

The aim of this unit is the process of procurement – obtaining the services of a main contractor to construct their project – is often complex. The selection of a contractor that will meet the client’s expectations is essential so that time, quality and cost constraints are met, with no delays, overruns or budgets exceeded.

Tendering is the process of obtaining a price for the designed and specified works. The importance of

contractor selection to the successful completion of a client’s project cannot be overstated.

This unit aims to give students the knowledge they need to be able to select a procurement route and an appropriate tendering method in the awarding of a project to a main contractor.

Students will learn how to prepare a tender package in procuring a contractor for a client’s work. Many

different procurement methods are available to achieve this: from open to closed systems.

The Scenario of Assignment I part I

You have been appointed as an Assistant tender’s department manager for a consultation development firm. The company has recently taken a different project with different orientations. As part of the first meeting with the new client, you have been asked to select one of these project providing a presentation , the first presentation to cover all points related to required documents for preparing a tender documents for different types of projects and procurement method which will be followed by the client and contractor with all related items from BoQ and Specifications.

The second part of the presentation to cover the Construction procurement methods and preparing the tender documents for their design project.

In the presentation you should

• Explain the information to be produced prior to tendering, and illustrate the documentation required to formulate a tender for a major project and Analyse the potential of Building Information Modelling to support the tender and procurement process, providing an example of tendering for a major project to enhance your explanation of the required information and documentation.

• Through comparing the use of specifications and bills of quantities as tendering method, used for

privately funded project

• To help the client to understand the stages of the tender, you have to Explain the the stages of a tender process and the criteria used in selecting tenders, taking into consideration to Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different types of tenders for a given project.

• By discussing the contract types vs to tender types , then we can provide the client with a comparison between the different types of tendering available for a design and build project, and to Justify the selection of a contract type for a given form of tender.

• Given the companies’ emphasis on the building information modelling, and you should analyse the potential benefits of building information modelling BIM in the tender process, and to compare

• To help the client to understand procurement, you should explain the project factors that inform the selection of a procurement route. and to Explore the professional, legal and industry issues that influence procurement.

Accordingly you can analyze to the client the different influences on procurement between public and private projects.

• Further, providing a brief about your project will help the client to understand and Compile project parameters, to inform tender documentation, for a given project, and to Produce tender documentation (based on drawings and specifications provided by others) for a given project. Accordingly you can Justify the approach to tender documentation in relation to the client’s agreed procurement strategy.

At the end of the presentation you can , evaluate the relationship between procurement route, contract type and tender process in limiting risk for client and contractor.
