Analysis of requests for tender

You are planning to respond to a request for tender and first want to analyse the contractual, administrative, technical and operational elements stipulated by the client, in order to determine your ability to submit a contract-winning bid.
FERROCONNECT analyses the request for tender for you, extracts from it a list of the main mandatory obligations and requirements, and provides you with a tool to help you decide whether to submit a bid or not.

Analysis and outsider’s view on your bid

You have decided to respond to a request for tender and your bid is being prepared. Before the bid is submitted to the client, you want an external expert to take a look and check its overall alignment with client requirements.
This expert will analyse any gaps with the request for tender, contribute to your risk and opportunities assessment, challenge and accompany your teams throughout and during the interview and Q&A phases.

FERROCONNECT shall analyse the contractual, administrative, technical and operational compliance of your bid, contribute to your risk and opportunities assessment, and assist you in the Q&A phase and in preparing for the interview phase.

Participation in writing your bid

FERROCONNECT can help in preparing your bid by deploying technical writers, who, in liaison with your technical experts, will produce the best deliverables in the target language. Our writers add value to your bid:

• Time-savings on your expert resources: our writers will discuss specific points with your technical experts, then return in writing the results of the interviews, so as to answer exactly the questions asked in the request for tender. Your experts can therefore concentrate on the content of the bid and not the style.
•  Response consistency: our writers have a “top-down” view of the sections in your bid and can therefore help to ensure overall consistency throughout the document.
• Reponse accuracy: our writers strive to obtain the most precise answers to the questions asked in the request for tender.
• Professional journalistic quality writing for your bid.

The processes of analysing the request for tender, gaining an external perspective and writing your bid are closely integrated within your bid process. You remain in control of your bid and its delivery schedule, and FERROCONNECT integrates within this framework via regular meetings and reviews, all scheduled beforehand.
