Public tender clarifications and bid review

A clarification request must be read alongside the tender documents and the bid actually submitted. APEX supports analysis of the authority’s questions and preparation of a documented response. We start by identifying the existing information and response deadline.

Clarifications before bid submission

If the documents contain unclear or inconsistent requirements, the question should identify the exact point and issue needing clarification. We examine differences between specifications, forms, lists and drawings, then prepare precise questions. Following the response, we review its impact on the documents being prepared.

  • Identifying the requirement and the documents describing it.
  • Drafting questions and specifying the actual inconsistencies.
  • Tracking responses and updated documents.
  • Aligning the bid before submission.

Responses during evaluation

After submission, the analysis starts with the files sent in the procedure. We identify the requested information and where it appears in the bid. If further explanation is needed, we connect it to existing data and available documents. The admissibility of a response or additional document is assessed in the procedure’s context; we do not assume that every omission can be remedied.

What we check in a response

A useful response addresses each point and allows the evaluation committee to follow the explanation. We check page references, annex names and data consistency. If the request concerns DUAE, personnel, guarantees, products or the schedule, we examine the relevant documents and the limits of the proposed explanation.

  • A separate answer to each question from the authority.
  • Verifiable references to the bid and supporting documents.
  • Consistent participant and procedure details.
  • Clearly identified annexes checked before transmission.

Documents needed for the analysis

Send the full request, exact deadline, tender documents and submitted bid, including annexes. We need the version actually submitted, not just a working copy changed later. For preventive review, you can request an assessment before submission, when gaps can be identified and resolved while preparing the bid.

Frequently asked questions

Can you confirm that the authority will accept the response?

We cannot guarantee acceptance. We prepare the analysis and response from the available documents; evaluation rests with the authority and depends on the specific circumstances.

What should I send for an urgent clarification?

The full request, response deadline, submitted bid and tender documents. Missing relevant files limits verification of the explanations.
