Tender and RFP support services
Bring a contract manager on board to maximise the value of your tender responses, keep your risks in check and negotiate profitable contracts.
Contract management to support your tenders and RFPs
Bring contract management in from the pre-signature phase
Contract execution is often wrongly seen as a post-signature affair, when the contract life cycle and the value contract management can add actually start much earlier.
By bringing contract management in from the pre-sales and tender negotiation phase of your RFPs, you increase the odds of winning the contract and protecting your margins.
To support you, we offer contract management services that help you analyse risks and opportunities, then design contractual and negotiation strategies that combine competitive offers, favourable negotiations and smooth project transitions. We also work with public bodies on the buyer side, covering needs definition, bid analysis and contract execution monitoring.
Procurement and order management
We help prepare and build full claim files linked to extensions of time (EoT), changes in conditions or contractual breaches, as well as other unexpected events that put project delivery at risk. Getting this step right is essential to designing the best dispute resolution strategy.
Tender and RFP responses
Our work also covers reviewing the claims submitted by your suppliers, separating valid points from items that can be challenged. This proactive approach helps our clients anticipate and limit the financial and contractual impact. We design risk management strategies that keep disputes to a minimum while preserving the contractual relationship.
Risk and opportunity analysis
We help our clients build concrete, operational action plans to handle claims effectively. That includes identifying contractual and negotiation levers and preparing the key elements needed to defend the project’s interests. It also covers spotting potential claim opportunities tied to contractual changes or extensions of time. This proactive analysis optimises contractual rights and maximises the opportunities to obtain compensation or adjust contractual terms.
Joint ventures and consortia
When disputes escalate, we stand with our clients through every contentious step, whether arbitration, mediation or court proceedings. We work hand in hand with specialised lawyers to secure an effective defence and the best possible resolution, keeping the related costs and timelines under control.
