PROJECT ARC / TENDER
A clearer path from documents to decisions.
Bring tender information, questions and addenda into the continuous project record.
01 / TENDER
Establish the issued tender record.
Bring the tender package, drawing/specification revisions, bidders and key dates into the same project context as design. A clear issued baseline helps the team understand which information bidders have received and which updates need to be communicated.
02 / TENDER
Connect questions, answers and addenda.
Tender questions should remain connected to the source documents and the response that resolves them. Where an answer changes the issued information, preserve its relationship to the addendum. Arc’s intended tender workflow also supports the bid-receipt and comparison process, with the available pilot scope confirmed during a walkthrough.
03 / TENDER
Carry the award into construction.
Preserve the tender outcome, accepted information and contract baseline for the construction team. Open items, responsibilities and the reasoning behind tender decisions should remain accessible to authorized participants. The next phase should continue the record rather than reconstruct it from email attachments.
