Tender Intelligence Case Study:

A multibillion-dollar infrastructure project was announced in Saudi Arabia that attracted a number of multinational bidders. As part of the bidding process, each bidder partnered with a local consortium.

Info-Prod advised one of the foreign firms on the relative degrees of influence that each local partner had with the tender issuer, and other merits. We briefed our client on the best local firms to work with and the best consortium to join.

Info-Prod clarified for the client what the key points of interest were to the tender issuer, allowing an optimal offer to be made.

Our client heeded our recommendations and joined a consortium that won the tender.
