What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Tenders are prepared under time pressure with the focus on price and technical response.The contract conditions attached to the tender are skimmed.
- 02Yet those conditions become binding on award.Liability positions, performance bonds, liquidated damages, payment terms and termination rights are all fixed by the tender document, not negotiated afterwards.
In plain words
Tender and Bid Documentation Support
Review of tender and bid documentation — the conditions of tender, the draft contract, bond and guarantee requirements, liability and damages exposure, and the qualifications or clarifications worth submitting with the bid.
What good looks like
Imagine bidding with the contract exposure quantified, the onerous conditions identified, and clarifications submitted where they can still be raised.
