Public sector bidding checklist

What estimators need before drawings leave the room on framework and DfE bids.

Public sector bids fail on process as often as price. Before measurement starts, lock the form of contract, measurement standard, and which addenda are in scope.

Confirm who owns clarifications, how portal uploads are versioned, and what the bid director needs 48 hours before submission.

Use this checklist as a kick-off agenda — not a post-mortem.
