ABL Tender Terms & Conditions
LOG IN HERE TO VIEW TENDERS & DOCUMENTS
Tenderers must make themselves fully conversant with this invitation and the Main Contract terms Conditions therein as they will apply equally to all Subcontractors insofar as their own work and responsibilities are concerned. Unless clearly noted otherwise in written tender submissions, subcontractor’s quotations are automatically presumed to include for a complete working system for trade sections of work and service inclusive of any integration with other contractors work that may be necessary. The costs of any failure by trades to liaise and include for such work or equipment will be equally split between those errant trades, unless the cost can be recovered through a variation.
Should you propose to offer a Subcontract tender containing any deviation from the terms stated herein, such offer must clearly state which items are excluded and why and be delivered in writing at least four (4) hours before the closing time of subcontract tenders.
