Bid & Tendering Support Services

Construction projects regardless of the size or sector require careful planning. A key component of this is securing the RIGHT opportunities, RIGHT in terms of what is compatible with your organisation. Tendering is a common method of securing new work, and this is usually undertaken under a competitive process performed in a relatively short timeframe. Additionally, it requires the assembly of a core group of experts who can prepare a submission performing a variety of roles. Typically, this occurs at a time that conflicts with when your organisation is also trying to deliver current work in hand, unless you are structured so that there is a dedicated tender team. The right support can be the difference between winning the project or not, and more than that, the difference between winning a tender that will be a success and one that will not.

It is critical to get your submission right but also pitch yourself at the appropriate level. The ability to adjust key items after the initial submission is limited. You need ask yourself that you understand what you are committing to and that you have the ability to fulfil these obligations. Reviewing the proposed contract is a key element of this. Not only do you need to answer the questions being asked but you need to know the right questions to ask during the tender phase whilst it is open to queries (which isn’t always up until the closing date).

Where resourcing is challenged to provide appropriately skilled resources to prepare a submission on a short-term basis that enables you to leave your core employees to concentrate on delivering work in hand, Zero In Solutions can provide experienced resources to support your team. Tendering is a time and resource consuming process, from reading and interpreting requirements, to preparing the detailed schedule responses. There is a balance between being competitive and covering your risk. We can help you strategise the best way to approach this.
