Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes

Description

The Offshore Wind Directorate invites a tender from a suitable contractor to undertake spatial mapping of the cumulative spatial restrictions to commercial fishing in Scottish waters plus a hypothetical case study exploring cumulative displacement from spatial restrictions for the commercial fishing sector. This tender will provide an evidence base to inform any future marine planning and policy decisions which may impact upon the fishing sector and will focus on activities within Scottish waters.
