Tender Programme assessment and review for the Client or the Clients Representative is an essential part of tender assessments and award.

At the tender stage it is essential that a review be carried out on the tender programmes submitted by the potential Contractors. This is to ensure that the timeframe allowed for in the project is adequate and that the programme includes all essential details.

A strong, robust programme at tender stage forms part of the Risk Management for the project and can provide a strong base for the development of a workable Construction Programme.

If a contractor submits a programme which runs for half the time of all the other programmes, it is more than likely they are incorrect in their assumptions.

An incorrect programme puts a project at risk of late completion and the possibilities of Liquidated Damages.
