Forklift Truck Tenders
Your Tender Team has a dedicated team specialising in capital equipment tenders for products such as forklift trucks. There are a number of public sector organisations that commission forklift truck tenders seeking new machines, or repair and maintenance on older machines.
Private companies also release forklift truck tenders within sectors such as warehousing, distribution, manufacturing and transportation. Your Tender Team can assist with any tender, public or private.
Who Commissions Forklift Truck Tenders?
Within the public sector, commissioners for forklift truck tenders include ports and airports, local authorities and waste companies. These might require a range of different machines such as counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks and container handling equipment. Occasionally, some public sector owned professional buying organisations such as ESPO (https://www.espo.org/Home) and YPO (https://www.ypo.co.uk/) also put out to tender their forklift truck tender requirements across their many sectors and services.
What is Normally Involved in a Forklift Tender?
Commissioners for forklift truck tenders might have a desired machine specification to meet or alternatively, describe lifting needs that need to be met. As with most capital equipment offerings, there is often a vast array of specifications that can be offered on machines. Where the commissioner is open to offers from multiple providers and machine types, the minimum requirements will be detailed in the specification document, with additional detail found in other tender documents. Therefore, the first check is to make sure that your machine offering is capable of meeting all requirements. Otherwise, the tender may be lost at the first hurdle due to non-compliance.
Question sets based on the machines themselves often involve areas on machine warranty, lead times and compliance with the specification. Bidders will also be asked to discuss their service backup as part of their responses, including engineer coverage, replacement machines and on-site breakdowns are regular features. Other important question sets often include areas such as account management, assuring quality, supply chain management and environment sustainability and CSR/social value,to name a few. These question areas often contribute a large proportion of the overall marks for the tender, with quality accounting for 60-80% of the marks, and can have a large number of pages, words or characters allocated to their completion. Ensuring these narrative responses are of very high quality is extremely important as this will be the key differentiator between you and the next bidder.
