When preparing a list of tenderers, there is one main factor that influences the sources of your recommendations. That is whether the tenderers will be sourced from an area that you are familiar with, or a completely unknown area.
Additional considerations will include criteria set by the project’s size, complexity and programme.
Selecting Tenderers in your area
- Past experience with contractors
- Contractor’s reputation
- Project scale and contractor’s resources.
Selecting Tenderers in an area you’re not familiar with
- BALI website of registered contractors, I would check on their portfolio from their website and possibly invite them for an informal chat about the project in general and their ability to perform
- Client’s recommendations if he’s worked with some in the past
- Colleagues recommendations if past experience in the area exists.
