Technical bids for contractors

A winning bid is written by someone who runs construction sites.

I support construction companies in public tenders awarded on the most economically advantageous tender. I read the tender rules criterion by criterion, find where the points are concentrated and turn improvements into concrete proposals that are consistent with the design and genuinely buildable. After the award I stay alongside the contractor on site.

Who it is for

  • Contractors bidding in tenders awarded on the most economically advantageous tender
  • Consortia and joint ventures that must coordinate several contributions in one bid
  • Successful bidders who want technical support on site

What it includes

  • Analysis of tender rules and scoring strategy
  • Technical improvement reports, drawings and product sheets
  • Non-priced quantities, comparison tables and price lists
  • Confidential costing of improvements to set the discount
  • Support with anomalous-bid checks, variations, claims and accounts

How I work

  1. Scoring map

    Reading the tender rules criterion by criterion and choosing where to concentrate the improvements.

  2. Studying the design

    Site visit and analysis of the tender design, so as to propose only what is genuinely buildable.

  3. Drafting

    Technical reports, drawings, product sheets and non-priced quantities, laid out to be read by an evaluation committee.

  4. Review

    Final check of consistency and weight of the improvements, and calibration of the discount with a confidential costing.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare a bid?

It depends on the number of criteria and the size of the works: usually two to four weeks. It pays to call as soon as the tender is published.

Are the proposed improvements actually buildable?

That is the starting point: every proposal is conceived by someone who would then have to supervise it on site, and carries a cost estimated in a confidential costing for the contractor.

Do you work for several contractors on the same tender?

No. On any given tender I work for one contractor only, under a confidentiality agreement.

Every commission is covered by professional confidentiality and professional liability insurance.
