Executive Compass specialises in the completion of high-quality, winning tenders for civil engineering.
Contracts for civil engineering are offered by a broad range of organisations. These can include local authorities responsible for maintaining roads and public spaces, government-owned companies such as Highways England and private sector organisations, for example water utilities with ongoing construction projects, maintenance and improvement programmes. They are either looking for a single contractor to undertake the works, or to appoint a number of firms to a multi-supplier framework. Project types also vary, from single, fixed price commissions to ongoing programmes of work.
The broad scope of activities that can fall under the ‘civil engineering’ banner means that contract values can vary significantly from the tens of thousands of pounds up to £1-billion plus. As such, programmes are often split into lots to reflect this, for example:
Given the wide range in values and complexity of works, the sector is made up of local and regional SMEs and large national construction groups. It is true that negotiated tendering, and overhead and profit, do play a part in civil engineering tenders and project costs can be a huge focus, however there is a lot more to the tender process.
As you would expect from the diverse range of organisations commissioning civil engineering works, priorities can vary significantly, and this is reflected in the types of responses and supporting evidence required during the tender process and in the tender documents. Our team of bid writers have extensive experience and knowledge in the types of information and responses required, and are well-placed to add significant value to submissions by ensuring the responses reflect the requirements of the commissioning authority.
Some of the common themes in the invitation to tender that companies looking to tender for civils contracts should be aware of include:
