Compare bids, evaluate tenders and interpret contract terms. 10 guides
Putting several tenders against each other on equal terms is what lets you pick the right subcontractor – and spot the reservations that make the lowest price not always the cheapest. In Yesper you do this in the dedicated quote/tender comparison, which identifies the bidders, weighs them against 8–12 comparison factors adapted to the discipline and takes you to a results view. Most valuable in the procurement stage once you have received two or more tenders. You steer what weighs heaviest with your own notes.
A formal, traceable evaluation is needed to justify the award. Yesper structures the evaluation with criteria, weighting and a justified recommendation based on the tenders. Most valuable in the procurement stage.
The tender documents (förfrågningsunderlag, FFU) hold the requirements, deadlines and terms that decide your tender. Yesper reads the FFU and brings out scope, requirements, deadlines and commercial terms – and lists appendices that are referenced but missing. Most valuable in the tendering stage.
Tender forms and other forms take time and have to be right. Yesper fills in PDF forms for you – both interactive fields and static forms without form fields. Most valuable in the tendering and submission stage.
A tender estimate needs items, unit prices, markups and totals that add up correctly. Yesper sets up the estimate in Excel with ready-made formulas – ready to fill with your prices. Most valuable in the tendering stage.
AB 04 (the Swedish general conditions for construction contracts) governs most things in a construct-only contract. Yesper searches AB 04 and answers with references to the right chapter and section – useful in disputes and tender review. Relevant in procurement and production.
In a design-build contract, ABT 06 (the Swedish general conditions for design-build contracts) applies, with among other things a different allocation of design responsibility. Yesper answers ABT 06 questions with references to the right provision. Relevant in procurement and production.
ABK 09 (the Swedish general conditions for consultancy agreements) applies to consultancy assignments and regulates among other things liability, fees and copyright. Yesper answers with references for design and consultancy agreements. Relevant when procuring consultants.
Ahead of contract signing you want to know exactly what changed between versions. Yesper compares two versions of a document – contracts, the tender documents (förfrågningsunderlag, FFU), the administrative regulations and more – and shows additions, changes and deletions. Relevant in procurement and contracting.
The administrative regulations (AF) set out the project's administrative requirements. Yesper interprets them and ties the content to the AMA AF structure – responsibilities, deadlines, penalties and form of compensation. Relevant in the tendering and contracting stage.
