Legal form for consortia

Tideway will accept expressions of interest and tenders from single entities or Consortia. Tideway does not require Consortia to form a single legal entity. Tideway will consider contracting with a Consortium, providing always that the participants in any unincorporated joint venture are jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the Consortium under the Contract. The nature of the Contractor or Contractors, assumption of liability and the terms of any parent company guarantees (PCGs) will be a matter for further discussion at ITT stage and Tideway's detailed requirements and evaluation methodology in this regard will be set out in the ITT. Applicants must provide full details of their proposed contracting structures with their completed PQQ Response. See PQP for further details.
