Tender / Quotation Review

Service Description

The lowest quotation is not necessarily the best value, and important omissions can result in substantial additional costs once construction begins. Our independent Tender / Quotation Review service provides an experienced assessment of the quotations you have received, helping you understand the differences and identify potential financial risks. What’s included * Quotation assessment: Detailed review of the contractors’ submitted quotations and supporting documentation. * Like-for-like comparison: Comparison of pricing and scope to establish whether contractors have allowed for equivalent works. * Exclusions and omissions: Identification of missing items, unclear allowances and potential additional costs. * Provisional sums: Review of provisional allowances and areas where final costs remain uncertain. * Pricing observations: Identification of unusually high or low allowances that may warrant further investigation. * Scope clarification: Recommendations for questions or clarifications to raise with contractors before appointment. * Risk assessment: Highlighting contractual, financial or practical concerns evident within the quotations. * Written comparison report: A summary of findings, observations and recommended next steps. * Review consultation: Discussion of the findings to help you make an informed decision.
