The definitive terms of a contract are written during which of the following contract phases?

E. Contract phase 

The definitive terms of a contract are written 

Definitive T&C's of contract are finalised at the time of signing the contract, .i.e. 'Award Phase'. Hence the option - A

The definitive terms of a contract are written during the 'pre-award phase' - when the project scope has been defined, the contract may be finalised and tendered (or directly awarded pending local procurement requirements).  There may be limited opportunity for contract negotiation during the post-tender phase prior to contract award.

The most suitable Answer is optionA
