Read the full tender package
A tender is best reviewed as a set of related documents. Start with the scope, then identify the instructions, forms, schedules and supporting files. Keep the original files in a clearly labelled folder.
Make a review checklist
Record the submission deadline, the work or supply requirement, eligibility criteria, documents to provide and any questions that need clarification. Note where each requirement appears so that another reviewer can trace it back to the source.
Separate your workstreams
Organise technical information, commercial information and supporting evidence into separate workstreams where the tender calls for them. Assign each action to a responsible person and track whether the information has been prepared, checked and approved.
Check for changes
Before submission, revisit the official source for amendments or clarifications. Use the latest applicable documents and complete a final review against the tender instructions. If wording is unclear, use the official clarification process rather than guessing.
