Independent MEP Tender Review
Know exactly what you're
signing before you sign it.
MEP tenders are where commercial risk hides. Scope gaps, buried exclusions, and pricing assumptions that only surface after contract award. We find them before they cost you.
The problem
MEP decisions are made under pressure — with incomplete information.
Scope inconsistencies and technical deviations are difficult to spot at tender stage. They become visible later — during negotiations, or after award, when your leverage is gone.
We provide an independent technical review so your team enters subcontract negotiations with clarity and commercial confidence.
- Scope assumed to be by others, but undefined in the tender
- Provisional sums masking incomplete design
- Pricing exclusions buried in subcontract clarifications
- Programme durations incompatible with procurement lead times
- Design responsibilities misaligned with contract conditions
- Commissioning and handover not properly allowed for

Executive summary
Delivered via Loom video or advisory call — structured for directors and commercial leads, not engineers.
Who it's for
Main contractors and developers
We work with teams delivering high-end residential, fit-out, and design and build projects across JCT and D&B procurement routes.
Particularly valuable when internal teams are stretched across multiple tenders, or when the project represents a step-change in MEP size or complexity.
We do not design. We do not install. We do not tender. Our role exists solely to support better pre-contract MEP decisions.
