Wordsmithery required - parties to a tender
Hi Folks,
I'm wondering what would be the correct terminology to refer to the parties on both sides of a tender tenderer sounds too much like an Elvis lyric ![]() Cheers --Ax

The tender is the agreement (contract). If the agreement were between Bobby B and Siouxsie Q, I'd call them Bobby B and Siouxsie Q - It would seem utterly clear to me in that case whom the parties in question are. Lawyers I think sometimes create fancy terms with words like Party and adding -ee and -or to words that don't really have -ee nor -or in plain English. For the sheer sake of obfuscation they provide perhaps having someone translate an agreement to klingon would be just as worthwhile.
Um, how about tendering parties

Cheers medialint,
thanks for taking the time, I settled on the name of the awarding authority, as in something like "Prevention of Stuff Department", and our selves as "the bidders". Interestingly enough a lot of websites refer to tenderer, and it doesn't have a corresponding definition in any dictionary I looked up. Actually the awarding authority referred to it many times in the RFP, but it just doesn't seem right. Thanks again --Ax |
