Single Stage
Contractors submit fully priced tenders based on a completed design. This method is suitable for projects with mature designs, clear budgets, and defined timelines.
Typical timescales: Project Initiation Form (3 days) → Shortlist (1.5 weeks) → Tender (4–8 weeks depending on project value) → Award
Two Stage
A contractor is appointed early for collaboration during design, allowing costs and scope to be finalised as the project develops. This method is suitable for complex projects where early contractor input helps manage risk, programme and cost.
Typical timescales: Project Initiation Form (3 days) → Tender (4–6 weeks) → Award
Two Stage (Express)
Similar to a traditional two-stage process, but with an accelerated timeline for projects that need early contractor input and faster progression to award.
Typical timescales: Project Initiation Form (3 days) → Tender (2 weeks) → Award
Direct
A contract is awarded without a formal competitive tendering process, based on contractor expertise, track record, or existing relationships. This method is suitable for projects with tight deadlines.
Typical timescales: Project Initiation Form & Business Case (1 day) → Review & Compliance (1 day) → Award
