A completion work is a work carried out to finish an unfinished contract. In public procurement, where the subject matter of a contract cannot be completed for various reasons (for example on termination or liquidation of the contract), the act by which the contracting authority holds a fresh tender and has the remaining part of the contract performed by a different contractor is called a completion works tender.
