First, the basis for the comparison is set
The customer often receives greenhouse construction offers in different formats. One contains a detailed inventory of equipment, the other describes a state of preparedness, and the third sets several conditions for on-site inspection. The first task is not to line unit prices, but to provide a common basis for comparison. This requires the same purpose of cultivation, the concept of land and the required status of delivery.
The project data sheet used for the request for a tender shall be the annex to the comparison. If one of the bidders has started from a different destination or different on-the-spot situation, this should be shown in separate rows. The difference may be a justified technical proposal, but it must then be treated as a variant. The separation of the basic offer and the alternative prevents the possibility of using another option without being noticed behind an amount that appears favourable.
Both the items included and excluded are relevant
In addition to the lines of the structure, cover, public utility, technology and installation, it may be indicated that the offer in question contains, excludes or leaves the working part for clarification. You don't need to automatically consider the missing line as a mistake. There may be conscious involvement. However, the investor must see what additional tasks and contracts are required to achieve the finished status he wishes.
Special attention should be paid to the membership of the trade union. The transport of a device does not necessarily mean complete connection and the installation does not always include a joint test. The comparative table may therefore include both the responsible and the transfer point. The question is who gives the working part and who checks its connection to the next system.
Check the terms of the offer
Without technical and commercial conditions, the amount may be less interpreted. What is the design status of the offer? Which utilities do you rely on? What customer data or preparation is required for the performance? These terms may be drawn up in a discussion list. Thus, the investor recognises which statement is certain and which remains valid only if an additional circumstance is found to be appropriate.
The performance time shall also be read together with the corresponding initial condition. A production deadline and a full investment rate are not the same time frame. The offer shall show which works need approval, on-the-spot standby or utility connection. The questions thus asked do not replace a legal interpretation but make a technical comparison useful before the conclusion of the contract.
We also write down the reason for the decision
The result of the election should be more than one price ranking. It is worth fixing which offer solves, which uncertainty needs to be clarified and what organisational burden it leaves at the customer. The coordination of tasks in a given project may be a more important aspect, in other situations the execution of a clearly defined part-work. The reasons for the decision must be linked to the operation of the investment concerned.
If there is a new technical need during the comparison, ask for an amendment to each version concerned on the same basis. Otherwise, one offer is already a fresh content, the other a previous assumption. The common data sheet and the tender matrix together provide a transparent clue to which it can be returned later when the price, time effect or liability consequences of a change are to be understood.
Questions to reconcile the project
- Are the offers written down at the same commitment limit?
- What does it say as an item to be excluded or clarified?
- What condition is the specified delivery time related to?
