TENDERING GUIDE

Tendering is the core life of any contractor. Contractor that does not involve or participate in tender will and ultimately having short lifetime period. As shown in my previous article, CONSTRUCTION BASIC CORE PROCESSES, Tendering is placed no.1 above all basic core processes. This is intentionally highlighted as no.1 processes simply because it is the life of a contractor.

Further to that article, I had simplified the main process of tendering through the diagram that I called as Bidding/Tendering Process. In this process an input, Notice of tender, is the starting of the tendering process. From this input that contractor will start to evaluate important criteria, specification, requirement, capability and so on before they decide to participate. All those important information shall be captured by a person that had been assign by Top management to do the evaluation of a particular tender. Normally the personnel  involve are Director/s of company, Project Manager, Project Quantity Surveyor and Project Engineer. However there is cases where board of director will personally do the evaluation. Here is the link that show the Tendering Process.
