Technical-commercial review of tender contracts, risk allocation, clarifications, negotiations and contract-readiness before award and mobilisation.
Lifecycle position
Convert the bid into executable packages by controlling subcontractors, suppliers, international sourcing, logistics routes, supply-chain exposure and contract terms before commitments become difficult to reverse.
Service at a glance
Contract review is most valuable while the bidder can still change price, qualification or delivery strategy. Gokbilge translates clauses into consequences for scope, design, programme, procurement, logistics, payment, guarantees, testing and completion.
The review focuses on operational risk allocation rather than legal wording alone. Contract clauses are considered with specifications, Employer data, BOQ and programme assumptions.
Material clauses are recorded with the Employer position, bidder assumption, pricing consequence, proposed clarification or deviation, fallback position and residual risk. This keeps negotiation and estimating connected.
Typical topics include design responsibility, ground conditions, Employer data, access, permits, utilities, payment, price adjustment, variations, LDs, testing, taking-over, termination and security release.
For high-value issues, the team can prepare a preferred position, minimum acceptable position and price/schedule consequence if the Employer rejects the requested change.
Technical interfaces and completion criteria are reviewed closely because they often determine whether the bidder can prove completion, obtain payment or release securities.
The executed contract is converted into a mobilisation pack covering notices, securities, Employer dependencies, approvals, key milestones, payment conditions and decision rights. Bid assumptions are transferred explicitly to the project team.
Gokbilge provides technical-commercial contract analysis and negotiation support. Formal legal drafting, governing-law opinions, enforceability and dispute representation remain with qualified legal counsel.
