A: TYPES OF TENDERING PROCEDURES
TENDERING AND AWARDING THE PROJECT.
General Objectives
One should be able to understand;1. The types of tender
2. The Tendering Procedure
INTRODUCTION
Tendering is the same as bidding whereby an individual or a single company or in
joint submit their offers to perform certain proposed project. The bidding can be
on works, goods or consultancy services. For the construction projects, when all
necessary designs for the project have been finalized, the tender document
prepared and fund for construction secured, the owner/employer/client calls for
tenders. This is normally done through consultants. The aim of tendering process
is to solicit a contractor who is capable of performing a sound structure such as
building, road
etc in a reasonable time, quality and costs so that the clients
requirements are fulfilled.
A) TYPES AND PROCEDURES OF TENDERING
Various types of tendering are used after the scrutiny of advantages and
disadvantages. Consultants will look on the nature of the proposed project and
advise on which type of tendering is to be used for more to provide more
advantages than when other method can be used on that particular project. The
following are types and their associated procedures of tendering:-
1.Open tendering
The tender is advertised and all eligible contractors or suppliers are allowed to
tender. The work will be advertised in the recommended newspapers inviting
eligible contractors to tender for the proposed project.
4
The purpose of advertisement is to create interest among considerable number of
builders so as to ensure the benefits of keen competition.
A small but adequate description of the works such as
- Project type
- Client / consultants
- Location,
- Size
- Where to obtain tender
- Deposit to obtain tender, normally non-refundable
- Time for submission
- Class required if any
- Other important information
Advantages of open Tendering
i)
Fair - It equal chance for any contractor to tender the job.
Even a lower class contractor can get the can win the tender
ii)
Really competition is ensured. Only contractors with genuine
interest in the work are likely to compete
iii)
Reasonable price – Due to competition, contractors may
decide to lower their profit margins and hence lower the
prices for job.
iv)
Few or no chances of favoritism in selection because criteria
are known.
v)
The collusion between contractors whereby they agree to
keep the prices high and allow one among them to to win in
a particular tender is reduced
5
Disadvantages of open Tendering
i) Costly – The cost of tender preparation is high due to the
fact that it require many tender documents. Also there are
costs for estimates and evaluation of tenders.
ii) Time – It is time consuming from the tender preparation to
Award. Contractors waste a lot of time tendering mostly
without success and consultants spend more time evaluating
the tenders
iii) There are temptations to want to offer the tender to the
lowest bidder which may not always be the correct choice.
Lowest tender may not be realistic
iv) Poor performers contractors may be awarded the tender
v) Good contractors may refuse to tender with by hesitating
Competition
2.Restricted tendering
2.1
Selective tendering
Select just few contractors who their capabilities are known will be invited to
tender. Selective tendering can be done either starting with prequalification or by
short listing.
Prequalification
This is also publicly done through the press. Contractors are invited to
submit their qualification documents such as:(i)
Name and address of company
(ii)
Directors name
(iii)
List of recently similar job with consultant /client
(iv)
Banker’s statement / Bank accounts.
(v)
Equipment owned
(vi)
Technical staff
6
Contractors are given important information concerning the project such as nature
of the job, size, location, consultants / clients, place to collect prequalification
forms etc.
Listing selective Tendering
In particular situations for example, where there is limited time before the contract
has to be awarded or only few contractors of the necessary ability exist in the area
the consultant may draw up list of suitable contractors to be invited to tender.
Advantages of Selective Tendering
i)
Competence – Usually only the competent contractors for
the particular job are invited to tender and hence can be fair
to accept the lowest tender.
ii)
Confidence in pricing – Contractors invited to tender realize
that they are competent and usually price confidently thereby earning the
necessary profit. This can help speed up the project and keep up the
construction companies.
iii)
Lowers the cost of tendering
iv)
Lowers the time of Tendering
v)
Poor/incompetent contractor has no chance to tender
Disadvantages of Selective Tendering
i)
Tender price always higher than in open tendering Competence
ii)
It may happen that other selected contractors are not interested but as a
matter of maintaining the relationship, may decide to quote very high
prices just to fill and submit documents provided.
iii)
There are chances of favoritism
iv)
There are chances of collusion
7
v)
Some clients maintain a list of good or likely contractors for particular
levels of the projects. This habit may reduce chances of new competent
contractors joining the race
2.2
Negotiation tendering/Single tendering
This happen when there are very few or one contractors with the required
specialization. In single tendering, only one contractor may be called but making
sure that he does not know that he is alone.
There are two stages of negotiation namely; single stage and two stage
negotiation
Single stage negotiation
This is when only one contractor is called upon for negotiation.
Two stage negotiation
A limited selective competition opens the first stage with the aim to reduce the
field to one firm only or to a manageable number say 2 or 3. The bases of
selection being:
Leading measured rates or a general bases of pricing

A construction programme or some other form of method statement

A design offer
Why negotiation

The document may not be there on which to complete for example
when the project is the first of its kind, difficult in nature

The project early completion

The contractor is required at design stage

The contractor may have done a good job previously
8
Advantages of negotiation Tendering
i)
Usually the Contractor to undertake the project is brought into
the picture right from the design stage and is able to make
suggestions
ii)
The contractor may commence to order materials early as well
as mobilize internally and thus speed up the implementation of
the project
iii)
Low cost of tender documents preparation
iv)
The contractors selected is real capable
Disadvantages of negotiation Tendering
i)
Since there is no competition in most cases, the project cost
is likely to be high.
2.3
Serial tendering
When a client has a large project which is being executed in phases each of which
has repetitions of the first phase a series tendering may be used. The contractor
are invited to tender under normal Bills of Quantities with the understanding that
the successful contractor shall be awarded the other phases of the project at a
later stages.
Advantages of Serial Tendering
i. Better alternatives on how to implement the project can be
developed in execution of repetitive job such as material orders,
handling methods at site
ii. The other phases of the project tend to be executed well due to
the experiences gained in the first phase
iii. The contractor tender for the first phase, and the data be used
for the remaining phase.
9
iv. Fair price since that the contractor may lower their profit
margins with the expectation to do a big job
v. Cheap because Preliminary items such as plants, water,
electricity are already in the site.
Disadvantages of Serial Tendering
i)
This may the disadvantage on the Contractor’s side if has priced lowly since
that the client will always insist on using the earlier quoted rates even when
they are not realistic.
ii) The amount of works available for open tendering is reduced to be damped to
the construction industry.
B)
