How to Analyze Tenders Like a Pro

Tender analysis is a critical process in the procurement cycle, particularly in the construction industry. It involves a detailed examination and evaluation of tenders or bids submitted by contractors or suppliers in response to a request for tender (RFT) or invitation to tender (ITT).
The primary objectives of tender analysis are:
1. _Evaluation of tenders_: To assess the tenders submitted by contractors or suppliers against the requirements and criteria specified in the RFT or ITT.
2. _Comparison of tenders_: To compare the tenders submitted by different contractors or suppliers to determine the best value for money.
3. _Identification of risks_: To identify potential risks associated with each tender, including risks related to price, quality, delivery, and compliance with specifications.
The tender analysis process typically involves:
1. _Initial review_: A preliminary review of the tenders submitted to ensure they meet the minimum requirements specified in the RFT or ITT.
2. _Technical evaluation_: A detailed evaluation of the tenders against the technical requirements specified in the RFT or ITT, including assessment of the contractor's or supplier's experience, expertise, and resources.
3. _Commercial evaluation_: An evaluation of the tenders against the commercial requirements specified in the RFT or ITT, including assessment of the price, payment terms, and warranties offered.
4. _Risk assessment_: An assessment of the potential risks associated with each tender, including risks related to price, quality, delivery, and compliance with specifications.
5. _Comparison and ranking_: A comparison of the tenders submitted and ranking of the contractors or suppliers based on their overall score or rating.
The output of a tender analysis typically includes:
1. _Tender evaluation report_: A detailed report summarizing the evaluation of each tender, including the technical, commercial, and risk assessments.
2. _Tender comparison table_: A table comparing the tenders submitted by different contractors or suppliers, including their prices, technical scores, and overall ratings.
3. _Recommendation_: A recommendation to the client or procurement team on the preferred tenderer or contractor.
Tender analysis is a critical process that helps clients or procurement teams to:
1. _Ensure best value for money_: By evaluating and comparing tenders from different contractors or suppliers.
2. _Manage risks_: By identifying potential risks associated with each tender and developing strategies to mitigate them.
3. _Improve procurement outcomes_: By ensuring that the procurement process is transparent, fair, and compliant with relevant laws and regulations.
