SayPro Review Tender Documentation

SayPro Compliance Check:
Review the proposal against the tender requirements to ensure full compliance with the client’s criteria and submission instructions

1. Review Tender Documentation:
   • The first step in the compliance check is to thoroughly review the tender documents, which include the invitation to tender, specifications, terms and conditions, and any additional instructions or guidelines provided by the client.
   • A detailed examination is done to ensure that all criteria mentioned in the tender are clearly understood. This involves assessing all the sections of the tender documentation and identifying specific requirements that must be met in the proposal.
2. Verification of Eligibility:
   • Ensure the proposal meets the eligibility criteria outlined in the tender, such as company certifications, financial stability, experience in the industry, and any other conditions required to submit the proposal.
   • All necessary certifications, documents, and legal obligations (e.g., tax clearance certificates, licenses) should be reviewed to ensure they are included and valid.
3. Compliance with Submission Instructions:
   • The compliance team checks the proposal’s alignment with submission instructions, including the format, number of copies, submission deadlines, and any electronic submission requirements.
   • It is essential to verify that all required sections of the proposal are present and correctly formatted, and that any additional documentation, such as technical documents, company profiles, and financial statements, are included.
   • Ensuring that the proposal adheres to any specified page limits, font sizes, and file types is also part of the check.
4. Technical and Financial Offer Alignment:
   • Technical Compliance: This step ensures that the technical aspects of the proposal match the client’s specifications. The compliance team verifies that the offered goods or services meet or exceed the minimum required standards as outlined in the tender documents.
   • Financial Compliance: The financial proposal should align with the pricing structure requested by the client. This includes ensuring that cost breakdowns are clear, the bid falls within the budgetary constraints, and that all pricing conforms to the client’s format.
5. Risk Assessment and Clarifications:
   • The team assesses any risks that may arise from non-compliance or discrepancies in the proposal. This involves identifying areas where the proposal could potentially fail to meet client expectations.
   • If any uncertainties or gaps are found, the compliance team may contact the client for clarification or make necessary adjustments to the proposal.
6. Documentation and Checklist Review:
   • A checklist of all required documentation is prepared and reviewed to ensure that nothing is missed. This includes verifying that all forms, annexes, declarations, and attachments required by the tender are included and signed off.
   • The compliance team ensures that all supporting documents (e.g., company registration, insurance certificates) are properly referenced and attached in the correct order.
7. Internal Review and Sign-off:
   • The completed compliance review is then forwarded for internal review by the SayPro Tender Committee or a designated authority.
   • Once the review is complete, the final proposal is signed off by the relevant authorities within the organization, confirming that the proposal meets all compliance requirements.
8. Submission Readiness:
   • Finally, after confirming that the proposal is fully compliant, the proposal is prepared for submission in the required format (physical or electronic).
   • All necessary submission receipts and confirmation of delivery are arranged, ensuring the proposal is submitted within the deadline and in accordance with the client’s preferred submission method.
