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

The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
