Pricing basis differs. Clarification required before comparison.
Bidder B excludes structural steel fabrication, so totals are not directly comparable on a like-for-like basis.

Program assumes unconfirmed early access.
The 11-month program depends on site access earlier than the tender allows, so the time advantage may not be achievable.

Comparative position
Bidder A and Bidder C are broadly comparable. Bidder B’s lower total is not yet verified on the same basis and its program advantage depends on unconfirmed early access.

A bid is rarely just a price
One bidder includes work that another has excluded. A program appears achievable until its assumptions are examined. A low total may depend on qualifications buried in an appendix. A required response may be missing, incomplete or contradicted elsewhere in the submission. When the documents are long and the bids are structured differently, it becomes difficult to see whether you are comparing like with like or whether something material has been missed. We bring the tender requirements and bidder submissions together so you can see the material differences on a common basis.
WHAT WE HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
See what the decision actually depends on
We help you understand:
01
How each bidder responded to the stated requirements.
02
Where information is missing, incomplete, ambiguous or conflicting.
03
Which exclusions and qualifications could affect scope, cost or delivery.
04
Whether submitted totals, allowances and pricing bases are genuinely comparable, including visible inconsistencies requiring clarification.
05
Which program, resourcing or delivery assumptions require attention.
06
What should be clarified before selection.
EVIDENCE BASIS
Where the evidence supporting each material finding appears in the source documents. The purpose is not to create a larger pile of analysis. It is to give your team a clearer, evidence-backed basis for professional judgment and reduce the manual work required to compare substantial tender returns.
You send the tender. We do the evaluation
We start after bids are received. Our service works alongside your existing procurement process. There is no new platform to implement. We review the tender documents and bidder submissions, compare them against the agreed evaluation basis, identify material issues and prepare the completed decision-support package. You receive the result as a professional, evidence-based deliverable that can be reviewed, discussed and used within your own decision process. The final evaluation and award authority always remains with you.
01 Tender source set
Tender requirements and bidder submissions.
02 Structured evaluation
Comparison, source verification and quality controls.
03 Decision-support deliverable
Findings, evidence references, limitations and next actions.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A structured evaluation - not an unexplained score
Bid comparison
A consistent comparison of the bidders against the relevant requirements and commercial information.
Priority findings
Material qualifications, exclusions, omissions, inconsistencies and delivery risks requiring attention.
Clarification actions
Questions that should be resolved before a recommendation or award is finalized.
Evidence references
Source references showing where material facts and bidder statements were identified.
Decision support
A clear summary of the comparative position, limitations and matters requiring professional judgement.
Quality-checked delivery
Your final deliverable is issued only after the applicable evidence, consistency and quality checks have been completed.
PACKAGE PREVIEW
Different tenders need different levels of review
Every package has a defined scope, visible bidder and page limits, and a clear route for projects that fall outside the standard range.
Prices are shown in USD. Final project acceptance remains subject to source validation, package limits and the agreed scope.
Bid Check and Decision Dossier target delivery within 5 AKTE business days after your upload has been validated. Decision Dossier Plus receives a confirmed date after validation; the 5-day target applies only where scope and current capacity permit.
HOW IT WORKS
A straightforward route from tender return to decision support
Technology supports the evaluation. It does not make the decision
We may use controlled technology-assisted methods to organize documents, structure information and perform consistency checks. Material findings and evidence references are verified against the accepted source documents before the evaluation is released. We do not automatically select a supplier, issue an award recommendation or release an evaluation without completing our quality and release controls. The client remains in control of the evaluation methodology, clarification process and final award decision.
Conclusions should be understandable - not taken on trust
We distinguish between confirmed facts, analytical conclusions, assumptions, missing information and matters requiring clarification. Where the evidence does not support certainty, the evaluation says so.
FICTIONAL EVIDENCE REFERENCE
Finding: Pricing basis differs
Source: Commercial Submission, Section 4.2, page 18.
Implication: Clarification required before comparison.
SECURITY PREVIEW
Confidential tender files remain outside the public website
The Project Fit Check uses non-confidential project details only. After you accept the scope and terms and full payment is received and verified, we provide a project-specific secure link for tender documents and bidder submissions.
Preserving original source files
Using controlled working copies
Restricting project access
Maintaining document and version traceability
Separating public website activity from confidential file transfer
Fresh quality review before delivery
Built for teams that need procurement judgement without building a procurement department
We support architecture and engineering practices, project and construction management firms, owner’s representatives, property and development teams, boutique procurement consultancies and organizations running occasional RFP, RFQ or invited-tender evaluations. We’re particularly useful when submissions are substantial, inconsistently structured or difficult to compare on a common basis - and your team needs an independent, evidence-linked second review before making the decision.
Public-sector, regulated, disputed or otherwise non-standard procurements require manual review and do not proceed directly through the standard package route.
