A few Tips and Tricks from the experts at i-Tender
As soon as you have identified a Tender that interests you, get the documents as soon as you can. This will give you and your team time to prepare your submission. The more time you spend on your submission the better chance you have of winning the Tender.
Simple enough but so important, if you price too high or too low your bid will be unresponsive, make sure to indicate any discounts you will give and make 100% sure you double check all your calculations. Your price cannot be increased after your award.
Read through the tender very carefully and if it’s a big one, list all the items that you must provide and gather them together methodically, as you get everything ready tick them off your checklist and remember to include everything in your submission.
Make sure you check and double check important dates, Briefing session and closing dates. if you are late even by a single minute your Tender will be disqulified.
The most common mistake that companies make when tendering is not submitting a valid tax clearance certificate. Make sure that you have a tax clearance for "Tender" and NOT "Good Standing" make sure that it is still valid at the date of the tender closing. Not including a Valid Tax clearance will result in immediate disqualification.
For example: missing appendices. Simply put, if something is missing it cannot get marked! Sometimes you may get a second chance to provide whatever is missing but it’s unlikely. After all, If you can’t put a complete bid together what’s your work going to be like?
Not signing the document is a common mistake, it shows that you have not read the tender, initial every page in the document and sign fully where asked, also remember to sign fully on the pricing schedule to show that you agree with the pricing. Not signing in the correct places will deem your tender to be unresponsive.
Try to keep your tender short and to the point. The reader will most likely have a whole pile of tenders on their desk, so the ones that get to the point quickly will make a good impression.
