Independent, design-informed advice to assess value, risk, and alignment
Experts in Tender Assessment
At Upscale Project Management, our tender assessment services ensure you select the right delivery partner with confidence. Drawing on our architectural insight and deep project management expertise, we evaluate tenders not only on price -- but on buildability, team capability, program integrity, and alignment with your project goals.
We represent the client's best interests throughout the procurement process, offering clear recommendations based on real-world construction knowledge.
Beyond Compliance Checklists
Our assessments go beyond compliance checklists to uncover potential risks, cost implications, and coordination issues early -- helping you make informed, strategic decisions.
Whether you're running a competitive tender, negotiating a D&C contract, or reviewing ECI proposals, our approach delivers clarity, fairness, and value -- protecting your investment and ensuring the selected team is fit for purpose.
