What should a tender review include?
A tender review should identify the scope, mandatory eligibility conditions, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, deadlines and clarification process. It should also flag contradictions or missing information for follow-up through the official process.
Build a requirement register
Capture each requirement with its source document and section. Separate delivery obligations, response questions and supporting-document requirements so they can be assigned and reviewed appropriately.
Understand evaluation criteria
Read the stated scoring method and weighting. Shape the response around the buyer’s questions rather than a generic company presentation. Do not infer an evaluation method that the documents do not specify.
Track amendments
Use the latest official documents. Record what changed and revisit the impacted answers, pricing, evidence and internal approvals.
Ask precise clarification questions
Describe the ambiguity and cite the relevant section. Use the authorized clarification channel and observe the published deadline.
