The Real Reason You’re Losing Tenders
What the Data Reveals
Research across thousands of construction tenders exposes a critical truth: most contractors are losing before evaluation even begins.
The numbers are stark:
40-60% of tenders eliminated at compliance stage
30-40% error rates using outdated cost data
25% more investment in preparation by winners
Only 1/3 of projects provide BIM at tender stage
The 70% Price Myth
Many contractors believe price dominates tender evaluation. The evidence tells a different story.
Reality Check
Modern procurement frameworks allocate 40-60% to non-price criteria including methodology, experience, risk management, and sustainability. Technical excellence regularly beats lower prices.
UK Best Practice uses 60% quality, 40% price for construction. Norwegian frameworks dedicate 40% to methodology and risk alone.
This means: Contractors who compete only on price are fighting with one hand tied behind their back.

The BIM Advantage in Tender Success
Research proves that BIM capability directly impacts tender outcomes. Our BIM-integrated approach creates measurable competitive advantage.
What We Bring to Your Tenders
Our tender submissions include capabilities most contractors can’t deliver in-house:
5D Cost Models - Accurate quantities linked to current market rates
4D Construction Sequences - Visual methodology that builds client confidence
Clash Detection Reports - Proactive risk identification
BIM Execution Plans - ISO 19650 compliant deliverables
Sustainability Integration - BREEAM/ESG credentials that developers require
Why This Matters
When fewer than 1 in 3 projects include BIM at tender stage, you have an opportunity to differentiate on capability rather than price.
Methodology = 20-30% of Evaluation
Technical methodology typically receives 20-30% of tender evaluation weight. Visual 4D simulations dramatically improve client understanding versus traditional 2D documentation.
Clients can visualize your approach - how you’ll sequence work, manage logistics, and deliver on time.

15-20% win rate = 3-4 contracts won
Price-only competition

Variations left unrecovered
With BIM Takeoff Support

35-45% win rate = 5-7 contracts won
Win on value, not just price
Better margins, protected terms
+20-30% recovered on variations
One Additional Win Example
Investment:
£2M project × 3% fee = £60,000
Returns:
Project profit (10% margin): £200,000
Recovered variations: £400,000
ROI: 1,000% on single project
Result: 2-3 additional projects won per year, each worth significantly more than service investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this different from traditional bid writing services?
A: Most bid writers focus on documents. We provide a complete system: strategic bid selection, BIM-integrated cost accuracy, methodology development, contract protection, and variation recovery. We’re not just helping you submit - we’re helping you win and profit.
Q: What win rate improvement can I realistically expect?
A: Clients typically see improvement from 15-20% to 35-45% on competitive tenders. Results depend on factors including project selection, price competitiveness, and client relationships. For negotiated or two-stage tenders where we engage early, success rates exceed 70%.
Q: Do you work with smaller contractors and SMEs?
A: Absolutely. Many small/medium contractors lack in-house bid teams but need professional submissions to compete. We scale our services to match needs and budget. We’re experienced at making smaller firms appear as professional as major contractors.
Q: How quickly can you turn around a tender?
A: Ideally 3-4 weeks for comprehensive tender. For urgent opportunities, we handle 10-14 day deadlines. For extremely tight deadlines (7 days or less), we provide targeted support on specific elements. See our full bid process →
Q: What markets do you cover?
A: We work across UK, Australia, EU, and international markets. Our team understands local standards, procurement frameworks, and market expectations in each region. For contractors entering new markets, we provide local expertise.
Q: Can you help with framework applications?
A: Yes - frameworks require different approaches, demonstrating consistent capability and capacity rather than project-specific solutions. We’ve successfully supported applications to major frameworks. See framework services →
