What the lowest tender left out

Anyone awarding subcontracts knows this. The lowest tender is rarely the cheapest. What each bidder left out against the scope split decides it, and finding that means reading every row of every tender before the award meeting, the week nobody has the hours.

One case on our Try page: four UE-VS tenders. Yesper checked them row by row against Bilaga 3 Gränsdragning and priced what each one left out. The lowest as submitted came last at full scope, 1,447,000 SEK above the one that was actually lowest.

You decide on comparable price, before the award. The gap turns up in the comparison instead of in the ÄTA log a year later. Same for any set of tenders, any scope split, and the rest of the Try page: a scope matrix for a bid invitation, quantities from an IFC model, a review protocol for a design package.
