Addendum

A formal supplement or revision to bidding or procurement documents, typically issued before the contract is executed.

Why it matters

Confirm whether pricing acknowledges all applicable addenda. Missing a revision at bid time can create an avoidable scope and budget dispute later.

In practice

A project example

An addendum changes the glazing requirements, but one proposal still reflects the earlier specification.
