Tendering is the process of making an offer, bid or proposal, or expressing interest in response to an invitation or request for tender. Organisations will select an offer or tender that meets their needs and provides the best value for money. Main purpose of tendering • to select a suitable and capable contractor at a time appropriate to the circumstances of the project. • to obtain from the contractor selected at the proper time, an acceptable tender or offer upon which a contractor can be let or award. Tendering method: • Opening tendering - The employer advertises his proposed project, and permits as many contractors as are interested to apply for tender documents. Open tendering has been criticised for attracting tenders / expressions of interest from large numbers of suppliers, some of whom may be entirely unsuitable for the contract and as a result it can waste a great deal of time, effort and money. …show more content…
These Contractors are selected on their integrity, ability and characteristics before they are invited to tender. It follows that only firms of sufficient standing and experience in that particular type of work will be approached. The lowest tender will generally have to be accepted.Selective tendering can give clients greater confidence that their requirements will be satisfied and should reduce the wasted effort that can be involved in open tendering. • Negotiated tendering - employer inviting a contractor of his choice to submit prices for a project. Usually this is for specialized work or when particular equipment is needed as an extension of existing works, or for further work following a previous contract. negotiated tenders can be used when there is a very tight deadline, or emergency works are necessary. A negotiated tender has a good chance of being satisfactory because, more often than not, it is based on previous satisfactory working together by the employer and the
Based on the textbook and my understanding, whenever there are negotiations between a procurer and a supplier regarding a competitive bidding, the first thing that might be favored is the scope of the project, meaning both will sit down and discuss the entire project prior the work begins. Meanwhile, during the negotiations, evaluation criteria should be clear, and stated and defined. As the evaluation is based on the criteria stated and the procurer can request or ask the supplier’s opinions on certain specifications and where things can be improved.
As the United States economy struggles through a sluggish time with the stock market dropping and unemployment rising, being competitive in the job market has become extremely important among professionals. Engineers are no exception. For most engineering firms, being competitive and successful requires obtaining design projects offered by companies in other fields. These projects can range from designing heating and ventilation systems for office buildings to water systems for cities to computer networks for businesses—the list of possibilities and disciplines is extensive. To get these jobs, engineers must make a bid proposal for the project. Bidding involves estimating the entire cost of the project, including the designing and building processes, as well as the materials and labor. Usually, the company with the lowest bid and the best plan gets the job. The ethical issue in this process is determining the cheapest building materials and construction procedures possible without compromising public safety.
A few sailors in the Navy were builders, but the sole Military Occupational Specialty held by those men was Construction, which did not provide enough diversity in skills to make them very effective. Although contractors were the better option at the time, the contracting system was ridden with problems. Every contractor was required to reach a government-set qualification level before beginning work. Congress had to authorize every contract, and the payment type was decided on a case-by-case basis. Some contracts were unit-price payment, others were lump-sum, others were paid on a loan, and still other prices were calculated at the end of the project based upon man-hours, materials cost and similar factors (known as an informal contract, and was the most expensive of all contract types) (Bingham 77-80) Furthermore, every project was carried out using a predetermined amount of supplies, again negotiated with Congress. If more supplies were needed, the contracting business went through Congress to re-negotiate the contract for more supply
Well known and famous author, Jonathan Swift, in his persuasive essay, A Modest Proposal, convincing people that there needs to be a new way to help out the population problem while helping out the hunger problem as well. Swift’s purpose of this essay is to show people another way to make the population go down but really he’s trying to grab their attention then inform them of his real idea. He adopts an aggressive tone in order to convey his audience which is the people of Ireland.
In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).
There is no doubt that hospitality sector is one of the most burgeoning sectors around the globe. Whether it is the Western or Asian regions, hotels can be found in plenty of numbers. Constructing and maintaining a hotel is a costly affair and you have to be extremely sure about its functioning before building one. It is certainly a good decision to invest your big chunk of money on constructing and running a hotel. However, in order to ensure the performance of the hotel, it is also important to take very good care of it.
“Demand more, Expect more, Achieve more.” A quote that I have cultivated as part of my academic and technical education in Greater Lawrence Technical School. As a senior in GLTS I have experienced life changing lessons that could only be taught in a school like this. The big stairs that greet us every morning accompanied by the joyous “Good Morning” given by our superintendent set a positive tone for our passion for learning. The way I see it is that by walking, sometimes even crawling these stairs every morning we are faced with a small task.
1. Identify the Problem As the country is progressing, the number of devices which support internet is increasing tremendously. Thus internet is of growing importance today. Also, broadband is the only mean of delivery mechanism for number of bandwidth intensive services like YouTube, Netflix etc. High speed broadband is very much essential from a commercial, educational, cultural and economical point of view.
CHAPTER ONE ADAPTING, INTERPRETING AND TRANSCREATING RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S WORKS ON SCREEN SOMDATTA MANDAL A minor work has no claim to act as more than a springboard when adapted for another medium, but a major work deserves, that any approach is made with respect to its essence. The scenario must express the quintessence of the book. It must emerge as clearly as possible, an honour to the original, to our process of transportation, and to cinematic art.

If you look in a dictionary for the word comparison you would see, " The considering of two things with some regard to characteristic that is common to both, as the likening of a hero, to a Lion in courage"(Dictionary.com). In this case, I chose to delve into the realm of comparison with the two marvelous works of drama known as "Fences" by August Wilson, and "The Tender Offer" by Wendy Wasserstein. Both artists are American Play writers born around the time of the 50s who are renowned for their masterpieces of work and also both have won a Pulitzer Prize for their writing style. Both artists seem to have a manner of expression that resembles each other’s work alike. I also noticed both works of drama have a very similar style of theme that
Working on tenders for the first few weeks was enjoyable for me as it did make me use all the techniques I learned at University in every stream of Civil Engineering that had been taught to us, namely; Geotechnical, Structural, Hydrology and Transport. I realise this might not be the same everywhere and usually Civil Engineers might focus on one type of stream, but I was happy that I had the opportunity to useall of my theoretical knowledge and applied them to real‐life
