What happens if an incongruity between the technical and economic offer is detected?

Bid Presentation

When a company puts the leg and presents a technical offer that does not fit with the economic offer in a public tender, the headaches begin there. The thing is simple: if your papers are not aligned, forget about winning the contract. The entities that review these offers are not silly; As soon as they see that something does not fit, they put the cross fast. It's like saying: "Hey, I have no idea what I am doing, but I want your money."

Look, the technical offer is basically your attack plan: how are you going to do the job, what resources you will use, the schedule, all that roll. The economy, then, is the account: how much will it cost you to do it, from screws to the salary of the workers. If you say in the technique you are going to use, I don't know, state -of -the -art robots, but in the economy you don't even have to buy a screwdriver, who do you want to deceive?

When these incongruities catch, the entity that tenders or thinks about it: they reject the proposal or, worse, they mark you as a little serious company. And be careful, it's not just for evil; Many laws, type the 80th law of Colombia or the Law of Public Sector Contracts in Spain, make clear that everything must be consistent and realistic. If not, in the trash.

The key? Leave improvisation for karaoke. Before sending papers, study the requirements well, check that you can meet what you promise and that everything you offer is covered in the budget. They are not two separate documents; The technical and economic offer are like Batman and Robin: they have to go hand in hand.

Seriously, if you ignore this, your chances of winning the tender go through the pipe. So, better do things well and avoid the show of rejections. There is no mystery.
