Is it mandatory to attach the BOQ in all service and maintenance tender. And where is the different between BOQ and measured term contract (MTC) or schedule of rate.
Nothing is mandatory, it is up to the employer to decide whether a BoQ is required.
A BoQ is prepared by the employer's cost consultant and sets out measured quantities of all the items of work identified by the drawings and specifications in the tender documentation.
A schedule of rates is just a list of hourly rates that a contractor can use to price cost reimbursable works.
A measured term contract is a contract based on a schedule of rates that can be used for a regular programme of works such as maintenance work.
What is the difference between the Bill of Quantities and the Schedule of Works, please?
