To which stage of project management does preparing tender documents belong, and who is generally responsible for it?
It should belong to the preliminary or preparation stage. A bid document generally consists of business and technical sections, which can be prepared separately by the business and technical teams before being combined. However, after bidding, the following occurs: A: Winning the bid ; B: Did not win the bid
It shouldn’t belong to any specific stage, because at this point it’s not certain whether a bid will be successful or not; moreover, the project hasn’t been established yet
Bidding should fall within the implementation phase of project management (as opposed to the decision-making and operation phases).
1. For different project participants, the stage at which bids are prepared varies; Furthermore, bids of different types correspond to different stages of the project. 2. If it is the project developer (the owner) who prepares the engineering design tender documents, this generally falls within the preliminary preparation stage of project implementation ; If what is being prepared are project tender documents, then it should fall under the project implementation phase. 3. If it is the construction party, what should be prepared are bid documents; at this point, it’s not possible to determine whether they will get the project, so there’s no way to talk about what stage it is in. 4. If it is the supervision party, it depends on what type of bid document needs to be prepared: a bid document for the supervision contract, or documents to assist the owner in preparing bids for equipment procurement ; And these two bids belong to two completely different stages. 5. The bid documents, including the tender documents and bid submissions, are usually divided into a commercial section and a technical section; they are typically prepared by the budget department and the technical department respectively, before being reviewed and signed by the chief technical officer.
