FIDIC’s Golden Principles (GPs) guide good contract management and administration.Golden Principle 1 (GP1)emphasizes“Clear communication and documentation”to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. It specifically promotes thorough documentation of all agreements and clarifications reached during the tender process. The use of a memorandum of understanding or similar record ensures transparency and mutual understanding. Furthermore, the formal award of the contract by a signed letter of acceptance aligns with the principle of clear and formal contract formation.

GP1ensures that all key matters, changes, and agreements are properly documented during the tender phase and contract award to form an unambiguous contractual basis.

GP2 and GP3relate more to ongoing contract administration, risk management, and dispute resolution rather than the contract formation process.

GPA(Golden Principle A) is not a standard FIDIC term associated with contract formation or tender stage documentation.

Therefore, the described process aligns best withGolden Principle 1 (GP1).
