It’s not all about the price!
Unfortunately, there have been many times I have had to turn down great subbies due to their tenders not meeting all the simple tender requirements…
For the past 10 years, I have worked for two head contractors in Canberra, progressing from Cadet whilst studying a Bachelor of Construction Management & Quantity Surveying to Project Engineer and now a Project Manager and Bid Manager.
Majority of my clients have been Government Departments so I have come to learn and know the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs) very well! I have written numerous Request for Tender (RFT’s) & Request for Quotations (RFQ’s) which have been approved by Government Procurement Specialists for issuing publically on AusTender.
Commonwealth Procurement Rules state the tenderer must meet ALL the weighted criteria for the tender to be deemed compliant. Unfortunately, subbies and builders often spend too much time on the price and fail to give the other criteria enough attention, often leaving them blank which is an automatic rejection of the entire tender!
Seeing this gap with many tenders, I have created NexTender to help subbies and builders not only fulfil all text and attachment based weighted criteria, but to absolutely smash it! This alone will give you the upper hand at winning tenders in the current competive and uncertain construction industry environment.
Leave all the writing and presentation of your tender with us, so you can spend more time nailing the price.
