Completed example preview
Hypothetical package comparison. All three adjusted totals are £18,000 ex VAT, but C has not confirmed the current revision. Equal totals do not mean equally complete offers.
| Reference | Document revision | Decision or review note |
|---|---|---|
| A | A03 | Confirm scaffold scope before approval |
| B | A03 | Review programme and validity |
| C | A02 | Obtain A03 confirmation; not ready for selection |
How to use it
- Issue one document and pricing basis to every relevant tenderer.
- Keep the submitted price unchanged. Record each addition or deduction separately with its source.
- Compare scope, allowances, access, programme, validity and tax before ranking the adjusted totals.
- Keep unresolved qualifications visible. An arithmetic adjustment cannot settle a different revision or an unanswered scope question.
