PROJECT STUDY, WRITING TENDER DOCUMENTS, CANDIDATE SELECTION
1.Overview
In each of the business areas targeted by BEVAC (Metro, Tram/LRT, Bus, Airports, Interurban networks, Road and motorway tunnels, Industrial buildings/complexes), a specific Tender Document (TD) is generally the final outcome of a Pre-project draft, which itself is preceded by a preliminary project study.
Among the services provided by BEVAC, the tasks of drawing up the pre-project draft and writing the Tender Document are key competencies that have helped create and forge our reputation.
If the client so wishes, BEVAC can also propose drawing up a preliminary inventory of existing installations which provides a "snapshot" of the current system situation (see Complex systems audit).
Once the tender document has been sent out by the client, BEVAC analyses and compares the various bid submissions and assists the client with possible negotiations.
These services are generally provided by BEVAC on an inclusive and consecutive basis but we can also undertake individual services if specifically requested by a client (part order only).
