Tenders and contracts

Tenders and contracts are an essential part of business operations. They allow companies to bid for projects and contracts that can help them grow their business and increase their revenue. However, tendering can be a complex process, with legal and regulatory requirements that must be met. As a result, it is essential to have the guidance and support of an experienced immigration lawyer like the Sterling Law team to ensure that your business can successfully navigate the tendering process.

What are Tenders and Contracts?

Tenders and contracts are legal documents that set out the terms and conditions for a project or service. Tenders are typically issued by the government or other public sector bodies to allow businesses to bid for projects or contracts. Contracts, on the other hand, are legal agreements between two parties that outline the terms and conditions of a project or service.

The tendering process typically involves several stages, including the pre-qualification stage, where businesses are assessed to determine whether they meet the minimum requirements for the project. If a business is successful at the pre-qualification stage, they may then be invited to submit a bid for the project. The successful bidder will then be awarded the contract.

Tendering and Contract Law

Tendering and contracts are subject to a range of legal and regulatory requirements. For example, public sector bodies are required to adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which set out the rules for tendering for public contracts. Private sector contracts, on the other hand, are subject to the common law of contract.

In addition to legal requirements, tendering and contracts must also comply with regulations relating to areas such as data protection, health and safety, and environmental protection. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in legal action being taken against your business, which can be costly and damaging to your reputation.
