How to Handover a Tender Project

How to handover a project from tender to procurement phase

2 min read

Handing over a tender for procurement on E1 is the best way to ensure that your construction team can make the most of all of the hard work your estimators have already done.

Handing Over the Project Video Guide

If you don't have a tender on E1 for your project you can create a new procurement stage project

Handing over projects:

  • Brings across a record of all subcontractors who were invited at tender as well as information about their tender response
  • Creates procurement packages for each of the packages issued at tender
  • Brings across documents and packages allowing you to quickly revise to the construction set or issue RFQ's off the tender set.

Locating the project in your account

The first thing you will need to do is find the tender in your E1 account. Chances are this project will appear in your archive which you can search to quickly find the project.

Starting the procurement phase

Once you have found the project you will need to update the project status to ‘Awarded’ to enable the handover functionality.

💡
If you’re not the estimator on this project, ask the estimator before marking projects as ‘Awarded’ as the correspondence about the project being awarded will be sent to subcontractors from them. 

Once the project is set to ‘Awarded’ you will be able to start the procurement phase.

Setting up your procurement project

You can now populate the Project Details page. There are a few fields that you will need to fill out such as:

  • The project value - giving subbies an idea of the scale of the project
  • Contact details for the CA or PM - to direct correspondence back to

You might also need to update the project name, address or internal reference number. This can be done in the grey box at the top of the page but we assume this will be the same as the tender.

The project has now been created and is ready for you to start working on.
