4.2.5 Bidding Phase

The Structural Bidding Phase serves as the formal transition between design finalization and contractor selection, where structural documents are presented for competitive pricing and technical evaluation. This phase plays a vital role in ensuring that the structural system is clearly defined, coordinated with other disciplines, and accurately represented in terms of scope, quantities, and constructability.

During this phase, the structural team prepares and compiles construction-ready drawings, specifications, and Bills of Quantities (BOQs), incorporating all coordination updates and clarifications from the previous design stages. These documents form the structural component of the tender submission package and must comply with project requirements, regulatory standards, and code specifications.

The phase involves direct interaction with bidders to respond to technical inquiries, issue clarifications, and assess proposed alternatives or construction methodologies. It ensures that contractors fully understand the design intent and scope boundaries, minimizing pricing discrepancies and execution risks.

The structural team also supports the tender evaluation process by reviewing submissions for compliance, coordinating with architectural and MEP disciplines, and contributing to contract finalization. Through structured technical support, the bidding phase ensures a seamless handover from design to construction, promoting fair competition, technical clarity, and readiness for contract award.
