In a two-part tender submission, your response is divided into a technical bid and a price bid. The technical bid presents your qualifications, supporting documents and response to the buyer's requirements. Preparing it means bringing the right information together in the right order.
TenderTiger helps auto-fill annexures and pre-qualification (PQ) documents, attach mandatory documents and generate a print-ready final technical bid on your company letterhead, with signature, seal and stamp, correct indexing and pagination. The final bid is checked against the evaluation or scoring matrix provided in the tender document. Digital signing and QCBS technical-mark estimates also support the final preparation workflow.
Begin with the technical-bid requirements
Start with the latest tender documents and corrigenda. Generate a custom summary focused on required annexures, PQ documents, mandatory attachments and technical evaluation criteria.
EXAMPLE PROMPT Generate a custom summary of technical-bid requirements, including annexures, PQ documents, mandatory attachments and evaluation criteria.
This is an illustrative prompt. Confirm the summary against the original documents and keep the price bid separate according to the buyer's instructions.
Train your agents using past submitted bids
Share a few bids your company has previously submitted to train TenderTiger's agents instantly. These examples give the agents company information to use when preparing the new technical response.
Select relevant examples and confirm that company details, project experience, financial records and certifications are current. Each new response still needs to address its specific tender requirements.
Auto-fill annexures and PQ documents
TenderTiger's trained agents help auto-fill annexures and PQ documents using your company information. Your team can then review the completed drafts against the new tender.
Check experience periods, financial years, project details, declarations and authorised signatory information. Where the buyer prescribes particular wording or a form, verify that the response follows those instructions.
Attach the mandatory supporting documents
TenderTiger helps attach the mandatory documents supporting your technical bid. These may include registrations, financial records, experience certificates, technical credentials and authorisations, depending on the tender.
Check each attachment for:
- Relevance: Does it demonstrate the exact requirement?
- Currency: Does it cover the requested period and remain valid where necessary?
- Completeness: Are all required pages and details included?
- Consistency: Do names, dates and figures agree with your completed forms?
The buyer's requirements determine which documents you must provide.
Track EMD and security deposits in one place
TenderTiger lets you track all your earnest money deposits (EMDs) in one place. Keep visibility of deposits across the tenders your business is pursuing, alongside your review of security-deposit requirements.
Before finalising a bid, check the tender's EMD and security-deposit instructions, including the required amount, form, timing and supporting evidence. Confirm that any required proof is included in the correct part of your submission.
Central EMD tracking helps your team keep these commitments in view as it manages multiple bids. Use the buyer's instructions to confirm when a deposit is due and follow up on its release or refund where applicable.
Generate the final bid with indexing and pagination
Once the documents are assembled, TenderTiger generates the final technical bid with the required sequence, indexing and pagination to support compliance with the tender's submission requirements.
A clear index and correct page numbering help your team review the bid and help the evaluator locate supporting evidence. For example, where the prescribed format allows it, a completed PQ annexure can be followed by its supporting records, then the remaining technical response and declarations. The index should point to the correct pages in the final package.
Follow the buyer's required order, file structure and submission instructions when finalising the package.
Generate a print-ready bid on your letterhead
TenderTiger generates the final bid as a print-ready package on your company letterhead, with signature, seal and stamp where required. It also supports digitally signing the bid for the applicable submission process.
Use the options required by the tender. Confirm where letterhead is appropriate, which documents need a signature or seal and how digital signing must be applied.
Your authorised signatory should approve the final content and signing. Check the completed files before submission to confirm that signatures and seals appear where required.
Evaluate the final bid against the tender's matrix
TenderTiger checks the final technical bid against the evaluation or scoring matrix provided in the tender document. This brings bid evaluation into the preparation workflow, so your team can review its completed response against the criteria the buyer has specified.
Use that check to verify how your annexures, PQ documents and mandatory attachments support the requirements. Review any gaps before finalising the submission, and confirm that the evidence is correctly indexed and easy to locate.
The compliance review should cover the document requirements as well as the final package's sequence, index, pagination and signing instructions. Your team should approve the completed bid after reviewing the results.
Estimate your technical marks for QCBS tenders
Quality- and Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) considers proposal quality and cost, using the tender's specified evaluation criteria and weights. This approach is described in the World Bank procurement regulations.
For QCBS tenders, TenderTiger can generate an estimate of how your final technical bid may score against the scoring matrix in the tender document. Use this assessment to review how well your response demonstrates the qualifications and technical strengths the buyer will evaluate.
Review the evidence behind the estimated marks. Address unclear responses or missing supporting documents with accurate information your company can substantiate.
The estimated technical score supports preparation. The buyer's evaluation determines the actual marks.
Put the technical-bid workflow together
This illustrative workflow shows how the pieces connect:
- Understand: Generate a custom summary of technical-bid requirements.
- Train: Share a few past submitted bids to train the agents instantly.
- Fill: Auto-fill the required annexures and PQ documents.
- Attach: Add mandatory supporting records and verify their relevance.
- Assemble: Generate the final technical bid with the required sequence, indexing and pagination.
- Evaluate: Check the final bid against the document's evaluation or scoring matrix; for QCBS, review the estimated technical marks.
- Finalise: Generate the approved print-ready bid on your letterhead with signature, seal and stamp where required, and digitally sign as applicable.
Extract the BOQ and annexures, then fill the price bid last
After preparing and evaluating the technical response, move to the price bid. TenderTiger helps extract the BOQ and annexures from the tender documents, and its agents help auto-fill the BOQ and price bid.
Complete technical annexures as part of the technical response above. At this final pricing stage, review the extracted BOQ and any price-bid annexures against the buyer's required format. Check descriptions, units, quantities, rates, taxes and totals before approval.
Keep the completed price bid separate from the technical bid where the tender requires a two-part submission.
Review previous bid prices before reuse
Previous bid prices need a fresh commercial review before reuse.
Costs, quantities, delivery requirements and commercial terms can change between tenders. Your commercial team should approve the figures for the current opportunity rather than assume that previously submitted rates remain suitable.
Use past prices as context, then confirm the current costs, scope and pricing assumptions before finalising the price bid.
Review the complete submission
Before approving your technical bid, confirm that the latest requirements and corrigenda have been addressed, documents are complete and consistent, and the package follows the required sequence with correct indexing and pagination.
Review the final bid's check against the evaluation or scoring matrix. Check letterhead, signatures, seals, stamps and digital signing against the submission instructions. For QCBS, verify the evidence behind the estimated marks. Keep technical and price-bid contents separated as prescribed.
