3Questions 1IssueWhat is the contractual position of University of Millennia with Greenland, Enviro and PlantForever?LawTo make a valid contract, two or more than two parties must make mutual exchange of promises(offer and acceptance) with an intention to be binding by the contract along with an exchange ofsome kind of benefit (consideration). (Gibson & Fraser, 2013)The first ingredient to make a contract is an offer. An offer is a kind of proposal which is madeby an offeror to an offeree through which he states his desires which he intends to be undertakenby the offeree. An offer should come in the awareness of the offeree to make it valid in nature(Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co (1893). (Clarke, 2012)When the offeree after the receipt of the offer, acknowledges the same and give his approval thenit is an acceptance in law (Crown v Clarke (1927). But, when the person does not make any kind of offer but invites offers from the public and hehimself acts like an offeree then it is act of invitation to treat. In an invitation, no offer are maderather offers are invited. Tenders are normally construed to be an invitation to treat. But, in theleading case of Blackpool & Flyde Aero Club v Blackpool Borough Council Court of Appeal,the council has invited tenders and which must be submitted by the intending parties within aspecific time. The Plaintiff has submitted the tender before the due date but because if the errorof the council the tender was considered to be later and was not considered. It is submitted by thecourt that considering the expenses and labor that are incurred in preparation of the tender andwhen the procedure set out by the inviter is clear, it is not right in construing such acts as anaction of invitation, rather, the invitation of tenders must be construed as an offer which is deemto be accepted when the tenders are provided by the interested party within the stipulated timeframe. (Clarke, 2012)ApplicationThe facts submit that the University of Millennia has invited tenders for the supplies of greenseed for its surrounds. The last date for the submission of the tender was submitted to be 1st June.
