How do I make the right choices during a tender process?

Thorough evaluation of the bids during a tender is necessary to select the party that best fits the project. A good understanding of the schedule, risk allocation, and cash flow makes all the difference.

Risk management takes quite some time

But when done well, it yields so much more. Insight into the causes and consequences of project risks provides insight into the measures to be taken and whether they have the desired effect. Focus on the proper use of available time.

Every project takes longer and costs more

No matter how well a project is prepared, unexpected things always happen that lead to delays and/or additional costs. But how do you deal with these changes and how do you involve Senior Management?

Claims are difficult to properly substantiate or refute.

The tremendous power of cooperation

Unit of 3

The core of the Project Team consists of a Project Manager, Project Controls Manager, and a Contract Manager. This trinity is supported by many other roles in the fields of safety, technology, and the environment. The goal is to deliver and hand over the project within the set timeframe and within budget.

Knowledge of the risks

Both contracting parties must be mindful of each other's interests. After all, the goal is to achieve individual and joint objectives within the established frameworks. This requires knowledge of risks on both sides. We possess this knowledge and experience, both on the client side and in the realization of complex projects.

Dare to collaborate

Realizing projects in a controlled manner with higher quality at lower costs. This requires an approach where parties dare to deviate from the beaten path. The result is a custom solution that creates an environment in which both client and contractor can excel to realize as much value as possible for the set budget.

With our experts, we are working on solid methods of project controls.

Versatile experience

They have extensive experience in a wide range of project environments across very different industries. This experience with various working systems, sets of responsibilities, tooling, contract forms, etc. brings great comfort.

Experience on both sides of the table

Experience with both clients and contractors has given them comprehensive insight into the interests of both sides of the table. As a result, they know both the market and the broader interests of the client.

Teamwork

Project experiences involving a team working together with multiple Aratis colleagues have been particularly valuable for both our consultants themselves and the client.
