The document discusses tendering processes for construction projects. It defines tendering as sending drawings and bills of quantities to contractors to receive price estimates. The purpose of tendering is to select a main contractor. Different procurement methods are described such as traditional where the client separately selects a designer and contractor, or design-build where one company handles both. Factors like project size and economic climate affect the tendering method choice. Students are tasked to discuss tendering purposes and objectives, and select a method for a given project by considering build type.
