Tenders

Look beyond the lowest bid.

Issue a common brief. Compare what each price includes. Keep the questions, revisions and decision with the project.

A common starting point

Give every bidder the same starting point.

Conditions, price schedule and current documents in one register. Invited contractors find the revisions and submission requirements in their portal.

  • Bidders see current and superseded revisions, and acknowledge the conditions and each issued addendum.
  • Contractors raise RFIs in the portal and save a submission as a draft before completing it.
  • A contractor sees only their own invitation and submission.

Questions and revisions

One numbered update. Every acknowledgement is recorded.

Gather RFIs and revisions into an addendum, review its PDF and issue it. See which contractors have acknowledged the change.

  • Each response stays linked to the RFI it answers, and the RFI shows which addendum answered it.
  • Duplicate questions can be linked, so one answer covers them.
