Two-stage tender: first-stage appointment to agreed contract sum

We take off your hands: running second-stage package tenders, checking each price against the cost plan and benchmarks, and explaining every movement.

You get: each package return checked against the cost plan, value engineering tracked and a contract sum with every movement explained, for your QS to recommend.

The problem

On two-stage jobs the price keeps creeping up and we struggle to prove where.

How the steps join up

It starts when: the client appoints a contractor on a pre-construction services agreement and second-stage packages start to come back.

  1. Run second-stage package tenders and track them against the first-stage target on two-stage work

  2. Check a contractor's second-stage price against the cost plan

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  3. Benchmark a tender price against past jobs and elemental rates

  4. Find value engineering options and track the savings agreed

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  5. Explain cost plan movements between design stages

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

One more step, which a call confirms.

What you end up with: Each open-book package return is checked against the cost plan, priced on consistent indices and benchmarks, value engineering is tracked when the price runs over, and the client approves a contract sum with every movement explained.

Who signs it off: Your QS recommends the contract sum and the client approves it.

What it needs to work

  • An elemental cost plan, open-book access to package returns and a licensed cost index

If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.

Who it’s for

  • Developers and housebuilders
  • Surveyors and cost consultants
