Tendering, Adjudication & Analysis
Fair tendering
Tender process
I run tender processes that are clear and fair. I prepare documents, invite bidders, and set the rules so responses are comparable. I can manage open or selective tenders depending on your needs. My aim is to get quality bids at the best price without surprises.
I also set realistic timescales and communicate expectations. That helps bidders respond properly and reduces rushed or incomplete returns.
Comparing bids
When bids come in, I check them against the BOQ and the estimate. I look for missing items, odd pricing and risky low rates. I present the results in a clear table and explain which bids offer best value and why. If a price is too low, I’ll show the likely risks and extra costs later.
This helps you choose a contractor that fits your budget and project needs, not just the cheapest price on paper.
After award support
After you pick a contractor I help with contract checks and practical steps to start work. If disputes arise, I can help with adjudication advice or negotiation to reach a fair outcome. I work to keep relationships focused on delivering the build, not on long claims.
My goal is a smooth start and a clear path to finish, with fewer surprises and fair outcomes.
