QSP 19 – Estimating & Tender Submission – BioEnergy Projects

It’s important that we have a procedure that covers the area of estimating and tendering for a couple of different reasons…….

  1. To ensure a consistent approach, which will improve our chances of being successful with the bid
  2. To maintain accurate records of each tender so that analysis can be carried out for marketing purposes

Responsibility lies with the bid manager from within the Bioenergy Division to ensure that the procedure is being followed correctly.

As tenders are received they are date stamped and added to the tender register for tracking.

The bid manager notes the return date and makes sure there is enough time for completion of the bid.

He then allocates the main activities to members of the estimating department.

  1. Completing the material take off (MTO)
  1. Sending out enquiries to suppliers and subcontractors
  1. Making sure return dates are clear to all and can be achieved

When all information has been returned and assembled and the bid manager is satisfied that all requirements have been met, the tender is forwarded to the client for review.
