Tender and bid management for concrete and civil contractors

Tender management is everything around your price: finding the right opportunities, reading the documents, tracking every requirement and deadline, and getting a compliant submission in on time. Procura runs that process for trade contractors, so you can stay on site and still bid.

What our tender management covers

  • Opportunity screening: we watch council, government and builder opportunities and shortlist the ones that suit your trade, size and area.
  • Bid or no-bid: we tell you what each tender needs, what it's likely to take and whether it's worth your time.
  • Requirements and compliance: mandatory criteria, insurances, returnable schedules and addenda, tracked in one list.
  • Scope and quantities laid out so your pricing is quicker. You set the price.
  • Response preparation: capability, experience, methodology, safety and quality answers written from your real records.
  • Submission coordination: everything checked and sent to you for sign-off before lodgement, then the outcome tracked.

Tender management vs tender writing

A tender writer is usually hired for one submission you've already found. Tender management runs the whole cycle: finding the work, preparing the base documents every tender reuses, and managing each bid from start to lodgement. For a trade business that wants a steady flow of council and builder work, managing the process matters as much as writing the answers. Read more in tender writer vs tender management.

Who it's for

Concreters, civil and earthworks contractors who run registered, insured businesses, have finished jobs and referees to show, and have the crew and plant capacity to take on more work. It isn't for businesses that need someone to price the work for them or to supply licences, insurance or experience they don't have.

How it's priced

The readiness review is free. If you go ahead, the program is one fixed fee quoted in writing before you sign: half to start and half when your first tender is submitted, not when you win. See how much tender help costs.

Tender management questions

What is tender management?

Tender management is the process of finding suitable tenders, deciding which to bid, tracking every requirement and deadline, preparing the response and coordinating the submission. For a contractor, it's everything around the price.

Is bid management the same as tender management?

In practice, yes. “Bid management” is the more common term in some industries and overseas. Both describe managing a submission from opportunity to lodgement.

Do you lodge the tender for me?

We prepare and coordinate each submission and send it to you for sign-off. You approve your price and the final submission. Procura only does the tasks your written agreement authorises.

Do you guarantee I'll win?

No. Outcomes depend on each buyer's requirements, the competition and how bids are evaluated. Be wary of anyone who promises a win.
