Projects and Tendering - Episode 21 | Demetrios Yianni

Construction Disrupted

One critical part of the construction process that can be detrimental to success is the tendering process. Without this there would be less competition for work available and although at times it can be painstaking, lengthy and if you’re on the wrong end of a result disheartening, the industry cannot do without it.

Whether you’re at a PQQ stage, completed the PAS91 or have a templated tendering document ready to rock and roll, there is still a heck of a lot of work to be put into the process. It’s a skill, an art form almost.

There is no doubt that technology plays its part and will possibly play a much larger part in the future as we see more tech removing or making light of the more repetitive and administrative tasks. But when each and every construction project differs slightly, so will the tender requirements, or at least the specifics within the tender docs. As you may have guessed by now, I’m no expert at all of this so it’s time to chat to one.
