- 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.

The site also includes extensive landscaping, a children's play park, amenity space and other ancillary works. Alongside the 57 units, a programme of site wide enabling works will also be undertaken.

A Planning Application, reference LA11/2022/0681/F, for the project was submitted to Derry City & Strabane District Council in June 2022. Full approval is expected in the coming months.
The contract will be for approximately 24-months from date of award and is scheduled to start in March 2027 with the ITT documentation being issued in December 2026.
Time is to be of the essence in delivering the works and any failure by the Contractor to comply with the time limits for commencing or completing the works shall be deemed to be a substantial failure by the Contractor to comply with the contract giving the Employer a right to terminate the contract.
