FM tender clarification question builder

Good clarifications protect the bid. Pick the unclear areas and build buyer questions that focus on scope, price, compliance and submission risk.

Choose the unclear areas

The strongest clarification questions are specific, necessary and tied to a decision. Do not ask the buyer to repeat information already in the tender pack.

Bid timing

Before you send them

Clarifications are not a fishing trip. Keep the final list short, remove anything already answered, and log the buyer's reply against the bid area it affects.

Send

  • Questions that affect compliance, price or delivery risk
  • Requests for missing documents or unclear instructions
  • Questions that help all bidders interpret the requirement
  • Questions submitted before the buyer's clarification cut-off

Do not send

  • Questions answered elsewhere in the tender pack
  • Attempts to negotiate the specification through the portal
  • Vague questions that do not change the bid plan
  • Late questions that leave no time to use the answer

Use the answers inside the bid system

Clarification answers only help if they change the plan. Track the answer, owner and affected section instead of leaving it buried in portal messages.
