Prepare a consistent package for demolition tenders

Include the scope brief, current drawings, retention list, access information and relevant available reports. Add an index with document dates and revisions. Identify exclusions and owner-supplied tasks so bidders do not each invent a different boundary.

State how the site can be assessed and who is authorized to provide information. If access is limited, record the limitation for every bidder. Do not ask contractors to assume that an inaccessible area has the same conditions as an adjacent one.

Collect questions through one contact and distribute material answers to all active bidders. Number revisions and say which document they replace. If an answer changes the scope, allow the affected proposal to be reviewed instead of comparing an old version with a revised one.

Ask providers to identify assumptions, exclusions and required further assessments in a consistent response format. This makes gaps visible; it does not transfer professional design responsibilities or establish a contractor’s capability.

Record the scope and document versions used for the chosen proposal. Resolve differences between the tender package and the contractor’s response before authorization. If asking YAK to assess a tender opportunity, explain the procurement stage and available project records without assuming that every specialist item is offered.
