About the service
What Is Tender Pricing Support?
Tender pricing support is estimating help for the pricing side of a tender. We work out the cost of the work in your tender documents: measuring anything that is not already quantified, building up rates for labour, materials and plant, and pulling it together into a priced tender.
You stay in control of the final figure. We send back the priced document with the workings behind it, so you can apply your own overheads and margin and decide what to submit. It gives your business estimating capacity when a tender lands, without hiring another estimator.
When to get one
As soon as the tender documents arrive. The earlier we have them, the more time you have to review the price before the return date.
What we need
The tender documents (drawings, specification and any bill of quantities or schedule of works) and the return date, as PDF, DWG or DXF.
What's Involved
- A review of the tender documents and return date
- Measurement of any work that is not already quantified
- Rate build-ups for labour, materials and plant
- Preliminaries and provisional items priced as the tender instructs
- A list of queries and qualifications for the tender
- A final check of rates and totals before issue
What You Receive
- Priced tender document: rates and totals entered in the tender's own format, ready to drop into your submission
- Rate build-ups: how each main rate is made up, so you can adjust labour, materials or margin
- Tender summary: totals by section or trade, so you can review the price at a glance before you submit
- Queries and qualifications: the assumptions behind the price, to raise with the client or include with your tender
- Format: Excel and PDF
Who It's For
- Main contractors: price more tenders at once without adding to your team
- Subcontractors: price trade packages accurately and return them on time
- Builders and small firms: get estimating help only when a tender comes in
- Property developers: check tender returns against an independent priced estimate
- Homeowners and self-builders: see whether builders' prices are reasonable before you choose
