How to win construction tenders
Before preparing your response, ensure you have thoroughly read and understood all of the tender documentation.
This will help you ensure that you meet all of the requirements and have addressed the evaluation criteria.
The pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) is your opportunity to showcase your company’s credentials and capabilities. Make sure you take the time to carefully complete the PQQ and provide all of the information requested.
If possible, visit the site before submitting your tender. This will give you a better understanding of the project requirements and allow you to tailor your response accordingly.
When submitting your tender, provide a detailed breakdown of your costs and an achievable timeline for completing the project. Ensure your pricing is competitive, but be realistic about the resources required to deliver the project.
Your ability to provide accurate management information (MI) will demonstrate your professionalism and efficiency. Make sure you have a strong reporting system in place and can provide regular updates on the project’s progress.
When preparing your tender response, focus on your strengths and provide evidence of your success on similar projects. This will help to build confidence in your ability to deliver the project.
Finally, explain the benefits of working with your company. Highlight any unique selling points, such as your experience or quality standards, and demonstrate how these will benefit the project.
In the construction industry, tenders are essential for securing new projects for builders, designers, and suppliers.
Tenders refer to the competitive bidding process which enables companies to provide bids for projects, with the client ultimately selecting the most appropriate one for the job.
There are different types of tenders in the construction industry. These include open tenders, where anyone can submit a bid, and selective tenders, where the client invites specific companies to submit proposals.
Additionally, there are two-stage tenders, where the client invites expressions of interest, and then shortlisted companies are asked to provide further detailed proposals.
In recent years, tenders in the construction industry have become increasingly digitalized, with many clients moving their tender processes to online platforms.
This has improved both transparency and efficiency, making it easier for companies to submit their bids and for clients to manage the evaluation process.
It is worth noting that tenders in the construction industry can be highly competitive and submitting a proposal can be a time-consuming and costly process for companies.
However, winning a tender can be highly lucrative, significantly boosting a company’s revenue and reputation within the industry.
Overall, tenders are integral to the construction industry, providing opportunities for companies to win new business and for clients to secure the most suitable contractor for their projects.
What is the Tender Writing Process?
The tender writing process is designed to provide our clients with comprehensive and effective service.
When engaging with clients, our tender writing process involves a comprehensive and structured approach that ensures a high-quality bid is delivered.
It all starts with reviewing the tender documents and providing a quote. The next step is allocating a Lead Bid Writer who will be your direct contact point throughout the entire process.
From there, we move on to bid writing. Our first priority is to develop a bid plan and hold a project meeting with you.
After performing a needs analysis, actions will be agreed upon, and we will begin the storyboarding process, generating winning themes and USPs.
We will ask you to collate the necessary supporting information identified during the gap analysis stage, and the bid writing process will then commence. The initial draft will be produced and submitted to you.
Once the draft is complete, we perform a full strategic Director-led review in-house. During this period, we encourage further improvements to be made.
The bid will be further developed and enhanced until it meets our quality assurance measures. When we are satisfied with the quality of the bid, we will send it to you for approval.
The submission and debriefing stages come next. Once all parties are satisfied with the bid’s content, we will sign it off. We can offer support with uploading and submitting the request if required.
Finally, we schedule a debrief to review how well the client’s requirements were met and get feedback that we can use going forward.
