Poorly run tenders often produce the wrong outcome — attractive headline rates, unclear assumptions, and suppliers promising what they can’t consistently deliver. FDG Secure manages the tender process end-to-end to protect quality, compliance and value.
FDG Secure does not supply security personnel. We design, manage and evaluate tenders entirely from the client side — keeping decisions objective and defensible.
How We Manage Tenders
Clear Scope Definition
Detailed service requirements covering coverage, KPIs, reporting, supervision and escalation — removing ambiguity.
Controlled Bid Process
Inviting only suitable, pre-vetted suppliers to avoid time-wasting and unrealistic submissions.
Like-for-Like Comparisons
Standardised pricing and response formats to ensure bids are directly comparable.
Evidence-Led Evaluation
Scoring based on capability, compliance, mobilisation planning and delivery — not just cost.
Clarifications & Interviews
Structured clarification questions and supplier meetings to test assumptions and promises.
Recommendation & Award
Clear award recommendation supported by evidence, audit trail and risk assessment.
