LNG Import Terminal Pre-bid Engineering

The challenge

The contractor had four weeks to submit a lump-sum bid for an LNG receiving terminal, with a client package that left several interfaces open. They needed reliable quantities and a clear list of risks to price.

Our scope

• Review of the client ITB and process package
• Bid plot plan and pipe rack layout
• Piping, steel and E&I material take-offs
• Engineering man-hour estimate
• Technical queries and qualifications register

Our approach

We mobilised a ring-fenced tender team under NDA within three days. Layout and quantity work ran in parallel with a daily TQ review so that open scope items were logged, priced or excluded before the deadline.

• Quantities issued in the contractor's code of accounts
• Risk and opportunity register for the bid team
• Daily progress calls with the proposal manager

The outcome

The bid was submitted on time with fully referenced quantities and a transparent list of qualifications, giving the contractor confidence in its lump-sum price.
