Procurement and Tendering
We offer a range of procurement services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.
Procurement and Tendering
Procurement refers to the systematic approach of acquiring goods, services, or works needed for a construction project. It involves the identification of project requirements, selection of suitable suppliers or contractors, and the establishment of contractual arrangements. Procurement plays a crucial role in project success as it ensures that the necessary resources are acquired in a timely manner and at the best value for money.
Tendering is a specific process within procurement that involves inviting potential suppliers or contractors to submit their offers (tenders) for a construction project. The client or project owner issues a tender document that outlines project requirements, specifications, and evaluation criteria. Suppliers or contractors interested in securing the project submit their proposals and/or bids, which are then evaluated to determine the most suitable candidate.
Procurement
There are a range of procurement routes available, and the most suitable in any situation depends on a variety of factors, such as the clients’ requirements regarding the cost, quality and timing of their project, the nature of the construction works, and the information available.
In recent years there has been a progressive movement in the industry towards Collaborative Procurement. Using this process, specialist contractors and designers are engaged at an earlier stage in the project than under traditional procurement routes, allowing them to contribute to the project and provide added value.
Whether your project is procured under traditional, design and build, management contracting or a partnering/framework arrangement, we can provide advice and guidance at all stages.
