Tenders:
FCM provides professional tendering services for
building and construction clients across various
disciplines and trades in both private and government
sectors. Successful tendering requires a demonstrated appreciation
of the client's project requirements and the capability of the company
which gives the potential client assessing the tenders confidence in
the ability of the contractor to successfully deliver the works. Many
companies with low bids have been overlooked for a given contract award
due to their inability to adequately address all of the tender selection
criteria. FCM can assist in all aspects of the tender preparation including
estimates, appreciation of the task, tender program and
construction planning together with comprehensive
response on each of the selection criteria. Our successful clients
who can attest to our services are noted here.

by certain clients to demonstrate their ability

their management systems comprising quality, OH & S and environmental,
organisation structure and key personnel, current
commitments. How the company conveys this information to the client
will determine if they are closely evaluated and selected for tendering
and future works opportunities. Governments capital works procurement
bodies have developed a systematic and comprehensive approach to prequalification/selection
of potential tenderers. FCM has successfully assisted
companies in the construction industry to qualify for such private
and government expressions of interest.
