The contractual traps that cost money when they're missed - uncapped liabilities, aggressive liquidated damages, unusual parent company guarantee requirements, onerous collateral warranty obligations, and payment terms that sit outside the Construction Act. We surface non-standard JCT and NEC amendments clause by clause, flagging anything materially different from the unamended form, and highlighting deletions as well as insertions.

For each risk, TenderEase goes further than flagging it. You get suggested control measures, practical ways to mitigate or push back during negotiation, the commercial opportunities a clause may create alongside its exposure, and the specific language your team could propose as an alternative. Every finding cites the exact clause number and page it came from. The analysis is a starting point for your commercial director, not a replacement for their judgement.

Every date that matters for pricing and delivery. Tender return deadline, clarification cut-off, interview dates, proposed start on site, sectional completion dates, practical completion, and any phasing requirements buried in the preliminaries. We pull long-lead items requiring early procurement decisions, liquidated damages rates per week of delay, and any milestones with specific performance obligations attached.

Every deliverable required at tender stage: method statements, programmes, CVs, case studies, insurance certificates, financial statements, quality plans, environmental policies, Modern Slavery declarations, and any project-specific questionnaires.

We flag the format required (signed PDF, Word, specific template), the person responsible for signing each, and any document that requires a sub-consultant or specialist supplier input.

Pre-construction information, principal designer arrangements, principal contractor duties under CDM 2015, and any Higher-Risk Building implications under the Building Safety Act 2022. We surface the client's residual designer duties, any existing F10 notifications, HSE correspondence referenced in the pack, and the Gateway stages that apply if the scheme falls within HRB scope.

The things that should match but don't, drawings that contradict the specification, schedules that contradict the prelims, room data sheets that contradict the finishes schedule, and employer's requirements that contradict the contract amendments.

Every inconsistency is surfaced with both sources cited, so your team can raise the right RFI before submission rather than carry the risk into the bid.

Areas where specification tightening, alternative products, or design simplification could meaningfully reduce cost.

We flag over-specified finishes, unusually prescriptive product references where equal-and-approved clauses would permit alternatives, repeated over-design in structural elements, and MEP specifications that exceed current regulatory minimums.

These are surfaced as opportunities, not recommendations, your team makes the call.

The ambiguities, contradictions, and missing information that should go back to the design team before the bid is submitted rather than after.

We draft the RFI in plain English, cite the page and document it relates to, and categorise it by urgency, clarifications needed to price, clarifications needed to programme, and clarifications that can be left to contract stage.

Full planning permission conditions, any S106 obligations, BNG (Biodiversity Net Gain) requirements, S278 highways agreements, S38 adoption requirements, S104 drainage agreements, party wall implications, and any listed building or conservation area constraints.

Each condition is surfaced with the trigger point (pre-commencement, pre-occupation, etc.), the discharging authority, and the document it sits in.

The logistics and sequencing factors a site team will need to think about, pulled together from what the pack surfaces. Access and site constraints mentioned across planning conditions, method statements, and employer's requirements; working-hour or environmental restrictions; neighbour and stakeholder sensitivities flagged in the documents; and programme phasing or handover requirements that will shape the build sequence.

Who is on the design team, who has been novated, and who is yours to appoint, all confirmed against the source. TenderEase checks the statutory position on planning, party wall and building control, and flags the specialist reports and strategies the project should have but the pack is missing, with an RFI ready to send.
