When You Need Procurement Strategy Support

  • Projects requiring advice on procurement route selection and contract strategy
  • Schemes preparing to tender for a main contractor or specialist subcontractors
  • Clients without experience of construction procurement who need structured guidance
  • Developments seeking competitive tendering or negotiated procurement with a clear audit trail

How Procurement Strategy & Tender Administration Works

Procurement strategy and tender administration provides structured guidance on procurement route selection, combined with hands-on management of the tendering process - ensuring contractors are properly selected, tenders are competitive and contracts are awarded on a well-informed basis.

  • Advising on procurement routes, contract forms and risk allocation strategy
  • Preparing tender lists, pre-qualification criteria and selection assessments
  • Coordinating tender issue, managing queries and maintaining process records
  • Reviewing and evaluating tender submissions against commercial and technical criteria
  • Supporting contract award, negotiation and mobilisation

The approach is structured, transparent and commercially focused, ensuring procurement decisions are well-evidenced and the selected contractor is appointed on clear, competitive terms.

The result is an auditable, well-managed procurement process that achieves competitive pricing, appropriate risk allocation and a clear basis for the construction contract.

Typical involvement includes advising on procurement route, managing the tendering process and supporting contractor appointment on behalf of the client.
