Respond to an invitation to tender as a subcontractor

Work through the invitation to fix exactly what is in your package and what is not, and flag the conditions that carry risk, from programme to payment terms, before you spend a day pricing.

เหตุผล: A price built on a misread scope is a price you will regret winning. Pinning the scope and the risky terms first is what keeps your bid aimed at the right work and your exclusions clear.

Price each line of your package off the tender bill with your rates, note where your quote is qualified, and check the quantities against your own take so you are not pricing someone else's error.

เหตุผล: Pricing straight off the tender bill is what keeps your return line-for-line comparable with the enquiry. Checking the quantities is what stops you inheriting an undermeasure that eats your margin on site.

Assemble the priced return with the qualifications and the documents the enquiry asked for, check nothing is missing, and submit before the deadline with the submission logged.

เหตุผล: A strong price in an incomplete return still gets you disqualified. Packaging the full submission and getting it in on time is what puts your number in front of the buyer at all.
