Just issue a tender; if he’s capable, he’ll come to bid. If he doesn’t have the qualifications, then there’s no chance for him
Why not? As long as one has the necessary qualifications and wins the bid,
Why not? **There is also no rule stating that one cannot do EPC after having done BE. For mature projects, the owner usually provides a ‘Bill of Quantities’ based on the BE, and then conducts an EPC tender. Engineering companies (design institutes) that handle BE work, due to their in-depth understanding of the process packages and the fact that they prepare the BE themselves—including the bill of quantities—have the best understanding of tender documents as well. So, they know better than other bidders where optimizations can be made and where things can be hidden, which often gives them an advantage in EPC bidding.
No problem, as long as we win the bid, we can do it.
Fierce competition in the engineering design market leads to lower costs for basic design, with focus being placed on EPC.
