Pre-Contract Award
Creating fit for purpose bid documentation can go a long way to determining if the resulting contract will meet expectations and requirements. A document which fails to accurately portray the work to be undertaken, or elicit information required to assess the capabilities of respondents, or a bid response which fails to address prospective client requirements, can lead to confusion, dispute and unnecessarily increased costs, or diminished returns, with a resultant failure to achieve the contract aims.
