Tendered price
Compare headline totals, VAT treatment, provisional sums, allowances and pricing gaps.
TENDER REVIEW · BID COMPARISON
Compare construction tenders on more than the headline price.
SiteSide Support organises returned bids into a clear comparison of scope, price, exclusions, assumptions, programme and points requiring clarification.
CLEARER DECISIONS
Make the differences between bidders easier to understand.
A low tender is not always like-for-like. One contractor may have omitted access, waste, temporary works or a key work section, while another may have included allowances that make the total appear higher.
We review the tender information supplied and present it in a structured report. The fee is quoted after we know the number of tenders, project complexity and quality of the returned information.
REPORT CONTENT
A consistent view of every tender.
The comparison is based on the documents and responses supplied by the client and tenderers.
Scope coverage
Identify whether each bidder has included the work sections requested in the tender documents.
Assumptions and exclusions
Place qualifications and exclusions side by side so important differences are visible.
Programme
Compare proposed start dates, durations, sequencing and stated dependencies.
Commercial terms
Record payment terms, tender validity, warranties and other information supplied by each bidder.
Clarification schedule
Prepare a consistent list of questions that should be answered before a contractor is selected.
