Service Overview

Pre-bid Engineering Services (EPC Tender Stage)

During an EPC tender, the contractor has a few weeks to understand a client FEED, quantify it and commit to a lump-sum price. Our proposal engineering team works as an extension of your estimating department, turning the ITB into reliable quantities, identified risks and a compliant technical offer.

We work to your tender schedule, estimating structure and code of accounts, so that our outputs can be loaded directly into your cost estimate.

  • Scope gaps identifiedTQs, deviations and qualifications registered.
  • Estimate-ready MTOsQuantities in your code of accounts.
  • Strict confidentialityNDA-backed, ring-fenced tender teams.

ITB Review

Scope, gaps & risks

The client ITB, FEED package and specifications are reviewed by discipline to identify missing scope, conflicting requirements and technical risks that need pricing or qualification.

  • Discipline review of FEED deliverables and specifications
  • Scope of work matrix and battery-limit definition
  • Technical queries (TQs) for clarification meetings
  • Deviations, exceptions and qualifications register
  • Identification of long-lead and high-risk items
Quantities & Sizing

MTOs you can price

Where the FEED is incomplete we carry out the engineering needed to quantify the work, and check the quantities that are provided.

  • Bulk MTOs: piping (by size / spec), steel tonnage, concrete, cable and instrumentation
  • Equipment sizing checks and vendor RFQ technical packages
  • Technical evaluation of vendor quotations
  • Allowance and growth assessment by discipline
  • Value-engineering and alternative proposals
Technical Proposal

A compliant technical offer

We prepare the technical sections of the proposal to meet the client evaluation criteria.

  • Execution methodology and engineering approach
  • Organisation charts and deliverables list
  • Engineering and procurement schedule (Primavera P6 / MS Project)
  • Compliance matrix and technical clarifications
  • Estimate backup and basis of estimate inputs
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you mobilise for a tender?

We usually mobilise within a few days of receiving the ITB and plan our work around your internal review dates and final submission date.

How do you protect confidential tender information?

An NDA is signed before any documents are received. Each client’s tender work is handled by a dedicated team with restricted access to project files.

Can your quantities feed our estimating software?

Yes. We structure MTOs to your code of accounts and templates so they can be imported directly into your estimate.

Which disciplines do you cover?

Process, mechanical, piping, civil & structural, electrical and instrumentation — individually or as a complete proposal team.

Do you support clarification meetings with the client?

Yes. We prepare TQ responses and technical clarifications and can attend clarification meetings with your team.
