Preparing specifications and tender documents and managing the
tendering processes, tender adjudication, negotiation and award of
contracts combines the experience of Mott MacDonald's waste
management team, our other relevant technical experts and our
specialist contracts department.
Through our contracts specialists we advise on the most suitable
form of contracting strategy and conditions of contract. They work
alongside our waste management specialists to advise on suitable
contractors, produce the instructions to tender, the form of
tender, modifications to the conditions of contract, general
specifications and performance or detailed technical
specifications, technical drawings and a schedule of rates or a
bill of quantities, as required.
We make sure we are available to answer technical queries and
provide clarifications, as required. We will also arrange for the
receipt of returned documents and will implement our standard
tender opening procedures.
Our quantity surveyors and specialised waste management staff check
that the returned bids are fully compliant and arithmetically
correct. They also assess the impact of any alternative solutions.
The returned bids evaluate the financial, environmental and
technical grounds and we provide a tender evaluation report
identifying a recommended contractor. The financial merits are
assessed item by item to check for anomalies and also to discover
the tenderers' contracting strategy. Fluctuations of key items are
also considered to determine the effect of a delay of programme or
other occurrences that may affect the overall price.
