Work through the quantities, compare supplier prices and prepare your tender.
Preparing a tender means working through quantities, chasing supplier prices and checking which figures have changed. EdgeTender gives estimating and procurement teams a place to do that work, with the BOQ, quotations and pricing details kept together.
Bring in your Excel BOQ and review its sheets, sections and items before you start pricing. When a revised file arrives, compare it with the earlier import and choose which changes to apply. You can see which items are priced and which still need work.
Split the scope into trades and work packages, then request prices from suppliers. They can respond through the vendor portal or use its Excel quotation tools. Compare their submissions by package or individual line, and carry selected prices into your estimate. For items you price yourself, the resource library lets you build up a rate from quantities, waste, productivity and other cost components.
Keep clarification requests beside the BOQ items they concern, and decide which tender documents suppliers can see. Your team can discuss the work, review final price adjustments and work within the access you’ve assigned. Contact us to discuss how EdgeTender would fit your tendering process.
Keep the tender’s details, photos and current status together. The overview shows pricing progress, active RFQs and the work still to do.
Browse packages, bills, sections and items, with quantities and rates alongside their descriptions. Filter the list when you need to focus on unpriced work.
Review Excel sheets and headings on import. For a revision, compare it with an earlier batch and select the changes you want in the working BOQ.
Arrange scope by trade and work package. Add the items and sub-items a supplier needs to price, and manage rate overrides within the package.
Suppliers can quote through an invitation link or their vendor account, with attachments and comments against the lines. You control when submissions close or reopen.
See submitted quotes side by side and spot the lowest amounts. Apply the quote lines you choose to package pricing, with a reference back to the supplier’s offer.
Build rates from the resource library using quantities, waste, productivity and formulas. You can adjust a component or reuse another build-up within the calculation.
Preview an adjustment for the whole tender or selected items before applying it. Check the affected rows and use the adjustment controls if you need to remove or reverse it.
Link an RFI to the BOQ items it concerns. Messages, attachments, due dates and the response status stay with the request for the next person reviewing it.
Keep tender documents in a register and decide which are internal and which are available through the supplier’s RFQ access. Files can be downloaded or exported.
Set membership, permissions and scope assignments for each tender. This lets you control who can work on pricing, documents and commercial changes.
Use tender discussions, quotation notes and item comments to explain a decision or flag something for review. Colleagues can find the discussion alongside the work.
Pricing depends on how many people use it and what it needs to connect to. Tell us a little about your company and we’ll send a clear quote within two working days.
