Bid administration that reduces risk and keeps every submission on track
Marfaq Solutions removes the complexity from competitive bidding with a reliable and cost-effective Bid Administration service used by organizations worldwide. Your technical team focuses on writing winning responses while our specialists coordinate the moving parts. We monitor portals, manage documentation, maintain compliance, and keep every submission on track from the first notice to the final upload.
Why It Matters
In a crowded procurement environment, small administrative errors can cost high value opportunities. Missed deadlines, incorrect forms, or poor portal management can lead to disqualification even when your offer is the best. Our Bid Administration service provides the backbone that allows your bid team to perform at its highest level without being overwhelmed by the labour intensive work behind the scenes.
What We Offer
- Daily opportunity monitoring across public and private portals including international donor systems such as United Nations Global Marketplace, World Bank, European Union TED, and government e-tender portals.
- Opportunity flagging and alerts that focus your attention on relevant and winnable bids.
- Bid tracker maintenance with a single source of truth for status, owners, actions, and deadlines.
- Portal registration and maintenance including credentials, access rights, and profile compliance.
- Tender document management for requests, annexes, forms, drawings, terms, and clarifications with structured folders and version control.
- Bid or no bid support with procurement summaries highlighting key risks, compliance requirements, and technical gaps.
- Buyer communications handling with monitored notices, clarifications, and addenda sent promptly to the right stakeholders.
- Boilerplate and template library for prequalification materials including financials, HSE policies, insurance certificates, licenses, and certifications.
- Document archiving and retrieval with a digital repository that supports audits, future tenders, and lessons learned reviews.
- Submission day coordination that checks file names, sizes, signatures, and declarations and confirms receipt after upload.
Our Tender Management Process
We follow a structured, results-focused approach from discovery to award. Here’s how we work with you at every stage:
🔍 Discovery and Setup
We review your sector, capability, preferred markets, and upcoming pipeline. A shared workspace and folder structure are created and access is granted to named users.
⏱️ Operating Rhythm
Daily scans of portals, a live tracker updated at agreed times, and short stand-ups during active bids keep everyone aligned. Weekly analytics summarize wins, losses, and actions to improve the next submission.
✅ Quality and Compliance Checks
Every document is checked against buyer instructions, eligibility, mandatory forms, and formatting rules. A compliance matrix and a submission checklist are maintained from kick-off to sign-off.
📁 Handover After Award
All materials are archived with a clear index. We request debriefs where allowed and update playbooks and templates for continuous improvement.
Tools and Integrations
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for collaboration and secure storage.
- SharePoint, OneDrive, or Drive for structured repositories with version control.
- Tracker options in Excel, Smartsheet, or your preferred system.
- Project communications in Teams or Slack with named channels.
- Optional e-signature and PDF tools for forms and declarations.
Reporting and Service Levels
