     • Submission deadlines and adherence to timelines.
     • Success rate of tender submissions (i.e., number of tenders awarded).
5. Quarterly Target:
   • Target Range: 10 to 15 tenders prepared and submitted by the end of the quarter.
   • Deadline: All tenders should be submitted before the close of the quarter, with ongoing monitoring of each submission’s status.
6. Risk Management:
   • Ensure that risk assessments are conducted for each tender to avoid undertaking projects that could result in losses or operational difficulties.
