The requirements for winning a construction tender can seem never-ending.
However, in answering the question ‘how to win construction tenders’ you need to take qualifications into consideration. Some of these qualifications can weigh heavily in the evaluation criteria. Without the right qualifications, your chances of winning the tender decrease drastically. So, really digest the tender documentation.
What are the minimum requirements? And following this, what qualifications do you think would benefit your bid? Before choosing your tender, really consider this. The closer your qualifications fit, the higher your chances of winning.
Some people would say that competitiveness determines how you win construction tenders. Realistically, can you actually undercut the competition?
What can your company afford in the name of competitiveness? Consider this when you’re bidding. If you undersell yourself, you could be in deep water when it comes to fulfilling the contract.
In the worst-case scenario, if you fail to complete the contract, it could ruin your reputation as a business. So, practice caution!
For most, losing the bid can be crushing. However, you don’t have the time or resources to get caught up in failure!
Get as much information as you can out of the buyer’s feedback. If you’re working in the private industry, request it! Even if you didn’t pass the PQQ stage, it’s still super important to transform your experience into a learning opportunity.
Effective bid management is crucial to winning construction tenders. If you fall short of the deadline in your submission, it’s game over. It doesn’t matter how amazing your bid is, it simply won’t be considered. So, keep your head above water with effective strategies such as internal deadlines and progress meetings.
