Lesson focus

Pricing

  • Benchmark budgets by category
  • Spot over- or under-funded opportunities
  • Prepare margin scenarios

Budget benchmarks

Compare each tender against category medians and recent awards. This helps you avoid underpriced or inflated bids.

  • Use award history to calibrate pricing.
  • Compare against regional spend patterns.

Value vs. effort

Pricing is not just a number. It must align with delivery effort, compliance cost, and risk exposure.

Build at least two scenarios: baseline and aggressive.

Risk signals

Look for warning signs: unusually tight deadlines, missing scope details, or contradictory addenda.

Document the risks and keep leadership in the loop before final pricing.
