KBA-01544: Multiple Bids on Bid Analysis

Question:

How does the Bid Analysis report handle multiple bids per project?

Answer:

sfPMS understands that you may bid the same project multiple times, perhaps to various CM or GCs that are bidding in turn. When a SINGLE PROJECT has MULTIPLE BIDS, the Bid Analysis report is designed to focus on a single bid and picks the bid with

  • The highest probability
  • The LOWEST, but NON ZERO bid value in (sum of items). (You are most likely to win the lower your bid.)

Where

  • Winning bids are considered before other bids
  • Open bids are considered before lost bids
  • Bids with zero amounts are ignored because they are likely incomplete

Lost bids are included so you can track lost opportunities and market share.
