Tendering Workflow

Procurement Tendering, Project Workflow

A clear tendering workflow ensures fairness, transparency, and value for money. Here are 5 structured steps in a successful project tendering process:

1. Define Project Requirements

Develop a detailed scope, objectives, and budget. Align specifications with stakeholder expectations and project delivery outcomes to attract the right bidders.

2. Prepare Tender Documents

Draft clear RFTs including scope, timelines, criteria, and conditions.

3. Advertise and Invite Bids

Reach out to prequalified or open-market suppliers to ensure competitiveness.

4. Evaluate and Select Supplier

Assess bids objectively against pre-set criteria and evaluation matrix.

5. Award Contract and Mobilize

Finalize contract terms and ensure smooth transition into execution.

Structured tendering is the foundation of procurement excellence and project success.

Procurement Transformation Starts at the Core

Before we talk about supplier innovation, value creation, or strategic partnerships—we must get the basics right.

Too often, organizations aim for high-level procurement outcomes while skipping the foundational step: Tactical Procurement. This is where we build control, visibility, and compliance into the system. It’s where we master the “how” of buying before attempting to influence the “why.”

The journey from tactical to value-driven procurement is not about skipping stages—it’s about evolving deliberately:

Start with structured processes and policies Mature into data-driven sourcing, risk, and supplier management Then align procurement with enterprise value, sustainability, and innovation

Without a strong tactical foundation, the strategy won’t stick—and value will remain aspirational.

Where are you on this journey?
