Tendering and Contractor Selection
Having developed the optimum procurement strategy for a project, the most important step that a Client takes is the selection of the contractor or contractors to carry out the work.
Whether this is by a one-off tender or as part of a long term business relationship it is essential that the tender documents accurately reflect the project requirements and the contractual arrangement that has been selected.
Conflicting or inadequate requirements set out in the tender documents are one of the most common causes of problems experienced in carrying out construction projects.
BrunswickIS has extensive experience of preparing tender documents for the full range of contract alternatives including consideration of the following (or a combination of the following):
- basis of reimbursement
- responsibility for design
- single or two stage tendering
- traditional or collaborative approach
- private finance initiatives (PFI).
We also understand the requirements of European Public and Utilities Procurement Directives.
The experience of BrunswickIS allied with the expertise of our Group partner, Alway Associates, who specialise in construction law and contracts, means that we can advise on all contractual matters and, if required, prepare amendments to standard forms of contract or bespoke conditions to suit particular needs.
Having been out to tender, it is important that the responses are assessed on the basis of objective criteria and, where this is not simply on the basis of price alone, BrunswickIS can develop a weighted scoring matrix to reflect the relative importance attributed to parts of the tender.
This forms the basis of a concise tender report which allows the Client to participate in the selection of the contractor to be entrusted with carrying out the work on his behalf.
