Not for construction / exploratory tender workspace
Decision gate
A simple bid/no-bid framework to keep the partnership decision clear and respectful.
Proceed if
- VFG confirms technical/design/build capability and wants to lead as Principal Contractor.
- RPEQ, design, survey and certification pathway is credible.
- Returnables can be completed on time.
- Pricing and program can be competitive.
- Luke's role is clearly scoped and accepted.
- Tender risk feels manageable.
Pause or no-bid if
- Mandatory site inspection or addendum compliance is missed.
- RPEQ/certification pathway is unclear.
- BOQ/pricing cannot be completed credibly.
- Roles remain blurry.
- Tender timing is too tight.
- Contract risk is not acceptable.
Decision record
Use the back-and-forth log and task board to capture the decision, the reason, and any next action. A no-bid can still be a good outcome if it prevents a messy or non-compliant tender.
