We highly recommend the two-stage tendering process with Design and Build procurement route
Design and build procurement is recommended for this project because time is of the essence. The contractor is completely responsible and wholly accountable to the client in the case of a building failure, project construction or design difficulties. The client has a reasonable understanding of the whole financial picture. The contractor has direct contact with the client. This enhances the line of communication and allows the contractor to respond and adapt more quickly and immediately respond to the needs of the client.
Due to this project’s complexity, there will be a great benefit from a contractor’s expertise.
The two-stage design and build procurement route is the preferred option for this project because it is the most suitable criteria for this project. It is advised that KID Developments should have a design team, which will subsequently be novated to the main contractor upon completion of the first stage of tendering. Contractors can quote a project with a better understanding of it, resulting in more cost certainty. An increase in the contractor’s involvement in the design could lead to new design ideas and lower construction risks. This will provide the benefit of team integration prior to the execution of the main contract.
When tendering for the second stage, the main contractor is likely to have a substantial risk allowance when using a design and construct approach. Using the novation procedure described above, this need should be alleviated. Loss of control is also a concern with this method of procurement, but from KID Development’s perspective, the design and requirements of the employer are already at a sufficient stage for these to remain on top of the project's focus. Under this route.
It is suggested that KID Developments use a two-stage tendering process. Because of the nature of the project, the location of the site, and the constraints, only a small number of contractors are expected to tender, which mitigates one of the route's key drawbacks of a small number of anticipated returns. This strategy will also limit the probability of conflicts and inefficiencies for both KID Developments and the tendering contractors since it will only attract appropriate contractors with the experience necessary for a project of this sort.
First stage
Pre-qualification questionnaire
Tender invitations
Requirements of the employer
A pre-construction services agreement is required for the first stage appointment.
Specifications and design drawings
Contractual terms and conditions
The main contractor's price schedule, which includes overheads and prelims, as well as the tender pricing document
Interaction with contractors and liaison with the design team
Stage two
Invitation to tender for the chosen contractor from the first stage
Extensive information about the employer's needs
Additions to the design drawings and specifications
Calculation of the contract sum
The contact form, with any applicable terms and modifications
A price sheet for a tender
Design team innovation to be picked Main
Every tender assessment procedure would be carried out with care to ensure openness and accuracy. All tenders will be given an equal chance and examined objectively, ensuring that the needs of the employer remain at the forefront of the screening process. Using this method, the most economically beneficial tender' will be chosen.
The following factors will be evaluated during the reporting of returned tenders; some of them will be examined during the PQQ stage since it is more suitable:
The price (at the second stage)
Relevant work experience
Comprehension of the needs
Previous performance
Technical abilities
Availability of resources
Management abilities and systems
Methodology to be used (this might include mobilisation plans, design proposals, and non-compliant proposals if these have been allowed)
Adherence to the specifications outlined in the call to tender
KID Developments will get a report outlining the rationale for the winning proposal and why it was chosen; this will reflect the importance of the project to KID Developments.
