Technical specifications
Plant, network and substation requirements written to a level of detail that leaves no room for interpretation at bid stage.
Area of expertise
Tender & project advisory
Hands-on support preparing tender-ready documentation. We turn a feasibility study into specifications contractors can price, and help you judge the bids that come back.
What to expect
- Deliverable
- Tender-ready document set
- Best used
- Between study and procurement
A good scheme still loses money if it is badly tendered
Specifications contractors can price
Scope, performance requirements and interfaces written so bidders quote the same thing — which is what makes the prices you receive comparable.
Independent bid evaluation
We score the technical offers against the scheme they are meant to deliver, and tell you where a cheap bid has quietly removed something you need.
The engineer in the room
Our team sits with you through clarification rounds and negotiation, so the technical case is defended by the people who built it.
4-step workflow
A rigorous, engineering-first sequence designed to take your district energy project from blank canvas to constructible, tender-ready reality.
Scope freeze
The scheme, phasing and performance targets the tender must procure are agreed and locked.
Document build
Technical specifications, drawings, data sheets and evaluation criteria are drafted.
Bid evaluation
Offers are scored on a like-for-like basis, with the gaps and exclusions surfaced.
Negotiation support
We stay on the call through clarifications, award and contract close-out.
What the engagement delivers
Everything it takes to design a tender-winning project
Evaluation framework
Weighted criteria agreed before the bids arrive, so the award decision is defensible to your board and to unsuccessful bidders.
Bid comparison report
A side-by-side technical and commercial analysis of every offer, with the exclusions and assumptions each bidder has made.
Risk register & contract input
The technical risks worth transferring, the ones worth keeping, and the performance guarantees that should sit in the contract.
We needed a solution that could support our design decisions and optimize projects from the ground up. We're finally able to do just that — saving time, improving accuracy, and ensuring we make the best possible impact with each project.
