- 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
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Three to five weeks
response window for over threshold tender
The response window for above-threshold tenders is typically three to five weeks. This period is crucial for suppliers to prepare and submit their bids. The Procurement Act 2023 mandates that suppliers have a minimum of 25 days to respond, although buyers can extend this for complex procurements. During this time, suppliers must submit any questions about the specification or evaluation criteria before a clarification period closes, which is usually one to two weeks before the submission deadline. After the submission deadline, the contracting authority evaluates all responses, which typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the number of responses and the complexity of the evaluation.
