Tendering is a process for contractors to place a bid for a project, appointing a contractor and agreeing on a price.
When bidding for a contract, you’ll need to submit a tender document, which helps the client to evaluate your suitability for work and will have set questions that you need to respond to. As a contractor, it’s your formal offer, or a bid, to ultimately secure a contract. As part of the process, you’ll be evaluated on both price and quality at the selection process and who is best to deliver the contract. With the process taking time and resource, it’s important to focus on the bids you genuinely want to win and deliver. With a selective approach, you can increase your win rate and spend time and money more efficiently. This guide aims to support anyone involved in tenders, who is looking to develop a greater understanding of the tendering process, and how to manage production of a bid.
We understand the lengthy process you go through when tendering for work and we have a new and improved guide to help improve your tender bid management.
