QUESTION

The purpose of IT 5.8 is so that the Owner has the right to refuse the use of a specific subcontractor. Some different scenarios regarding the submitted tender appendix 5 (a) If the Contractor does not specifically list any Subtrades then the Contractor is it presumed to be self performing all tasks. Would the Owner then be able make their tender non-compliant as they have not listed, [for example,] the Paving Subcontractor?

COMMENT

There is no IT 5.8 in our documents, so we cannot comment on it.

It was expected that if Appendix 5 to the tender was not included then the tender would be non-compliant and the Owner would not be able to accept it.  Form of Tender 4.1 confirms the bidder has included all appendices, so if they are not included the tender is incomplete.
