ITTW8
A separate Instructions to Tenderer has been developed for Reserved Specialist’s tenders.

FTS13
A separate Form of Tender and Appendix has been developed in conjunction with the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) for use with the Conditions of Sub-Contract (NN) published by the CIF. The term ‘appendix’ is used in place of ‘schedule’ in this case because this is the term used throughout the form of sub-contract. The document reference ‘FTS’ has been adopted to retain its classification as one of the suite of Forms of Tender and Schedule under Pillar 1 of the CWMF.

• New Appendix IV added providing a link to the Conditions of Sub-Contract (NN) published by the Construction Industry Federation
• Section 1.6.2 – Item 3. Line added to clarify that the Reserved Specialist’s Works Requirements may be issued to main contract candidates after the bulk of the main contract tender documents where the Reserved Specialist’s Works Requirements are not finalised at the commencement of the main contract tender.
• Section 1.7.1 – Clarification that the outline programme submitted by a main contract tenderer as part of their Works Proposals must be compliant with the requirements set out in the Form of Tender and Schedule, part 1G.
