## Further detail

A tender is an offer made on stated documents, assumptions and qualifications. Whether and how it becomes part of the contract depends on the subsequent agreement. Later orders, amendments and clarifications can change the position, so the final document set must be reconciled.

State the scope, pricing basis, assumptions and qualifications clearly. Our [Main-contract tender pricing](<https://www.quantsurv.com/quantity-surveying?service=%2Fquantity-surveying%2Ftender-pricing#client-types>) service supports a submission; our [Subcontract procurement and tender management](<https://www.quantsurv.com/quantity-surveying?service=%2Fquantity-surveying%2Fprocurement-tender-management#client-types>) service supports inviting and comparing returns. The role is agreed before work starts.
