Tender & Contract Documentation

Last updated on December 10, 2024

Tender and contract documentation is for consultants working on Ministry of Transportation and Transit construction projects. Here is a summary with links to all component documents required for tendering and contracting.

The tender document package comes in two parts.

  1. The tender document package with the necessary documentation for tendering the contract.
  2. The contract document package containing the legal documentation to bind the contract between the ministry and the contractor.

Project teams developing a contract must provide contract administration staff with the relevant documents in the table below.

Use the document under the appropriate column for major works, minor works, operational services, and design-build minor documents.

Green cells are mandatory. #

Yellow cells are optional depending on the needs of your project. # #

Uncoloured cells will be prepared by ministry contract administration staff.
