1) What are the alternative tender pricing documentation formats used for different procurements available.Also in your opinion and experience what are the advantages and disadvantages of each type?

Answering this question is not straight forward and would take a lot of research.

There are number of articles on the site that might be useful to you, in particular; Contract sum analysis, Tender pricing document and Schedule of rates. Others may also be of interest, such as; Bills of quantities, Pre-tender estimate, Measurement contract, Procurement route and so on.

Sorry not to be of more help.

2) In which tender package (TP) would one put "Sliding automatic doors"? Is it Electromechanical (EM), like lifts and escalators? Who specifies them? The architect or the EM engineer?

Generally we would expect them to be in their own separate package with the builders work in the electrical package. Specified by the architect probably using a closed specification based on a preferred manufacturer.

3) Is there a publication of some sort that associates 'work results' (WR) with the corresponding generally expected TP? (although one realises that the allocation of WRs to TPs is to some degree project specific).

Not to our knowledge. A good client team ought to provide tender feedback to unsuccessful bidders.

4) What are the advantages and disadvantages of including detailed information in a tender document on the types of inspections the Engineer will carry out on the Contractor's workmanship and marterials?
