A tender may look profitable based on the contract value—but the real impact on your project margins and cash flow often comes from the clauses you might overlook.
Before signing, check:
• BOQ clarity — Are quantities, scope, and pricing clearly defined?
• Retention terms — When and under what conditions will retained amounts be released?
• VAT treatment — Is VAT clearly defined in the tender and pricing?
• Payment conditions — Are payment timelines and terms clear?
• Variation clauses — What happens when the project scope or requirements change?
A strong tender review isn't just about the headline contract value. It's about understanding the financial and operational commitments behind it.
Review the details. Protect your margins. Build with control.
