Works contractsLarge works tenders, run as a plan
Flow writes the plan for the whole bid, gives price research to side agents and waits for your approval before it starts.
Works contracts
Price public works contractsfrom the whole tender file.
Flow, the Tendersight agent, reads the specifications, contract conditions and bill of quantities, then fills the measured works lines from your unit rates.
Scanned PDFs are read too
Each condition quotes its page
Rates come only from your files
Your estimators start from a priced first pass, with every condition quoted.
Flow reads every document, quotes the conditions that affect the price and fills the bill of quantities from your rates. Your estimators check the rates, price the gaps and decide.
The documents behind every works bid.
A works tender spreads its price across the bill of quantities, the specifications and the contract conditions. Each of them can change a rate.
Bill of quantities
Hundreds of measured items in the authority's spreadsheet, each needing a unit rate and a total.
Technical specifications
Materials, standards and workmanship clauses that decide which rate applies to an item.
Site conditions
Access, working hours, phasing and work in occupied buildings, spread across contract conditions and site information.
Subcontractor packages
Work you buy in, such as roofing or electrical installations, priced by others before your deadline.
Guarantees and penalties
Bid and performance guarantees, completion periods and delay penalties, each set out in a different document.
Qualification
References for similar works, key staff and certificates, measured against the selection criteria.
How Flow prepares a works bid.
From a stack of tender documents to a priced bill of quantities and filled forms. Every step is shown, and changes wait for your approval.
Specifications, bill of quantities, contract conditions and site information are read together. Scanned PDFs go through text recognition first, and long analyses run in the background.
Working hours, phasing, access and penalties sit in different documents. Flow lists each one with the exact quote and page, so estimators price from the source.
Flow fills the measured works lines from your rates and totals each section. Items without a rate stay empty, and nothing is saved until you approve.
For work you buy in, Flow drafts the email with the items, quantities and the date you need prices by. You review it and send it from your own mailbox.
The priced bill of quantities, the offer form and the subcontracting declaration are completed in the authority's own files. The originals stay untouched.

Questions about works tenders
How does Flow find works tenders in our region?
Ask in plain words or give CPV codes. Flow filters notices from 27 EU countries by place of performance, region, CPV code, estimated value and deadline, then saves the search as an alert or runs it every morning as a scheduled task.
Can Flow read a full works tender file, including scanned documents?
Yes. In-depth analysis reads the specifications, bill of quantities, contract conditions and annexes, and scanned PDFs go through text recognition first. It extracts requirements, required documents, risks and clarification points, and lists deadlines, milestones and guarantees with the quote and page for each.
Does Flow price the bill of quantities?
Flow fills the measured works lines from the unit rates you provide and totals them. It does not invent rates: items without a rate stay empty for your estimators, and changes to the offer wait for your approval.
Can Flow help with subcontractor quotes?
Flow drafts quote requests with the items, quantities and the date you need prices by, and you send them from your own email client. It does not send emails itself.
What stays with our team?
Rates, pricing decisions, the final review and submission. Flow shows every step, asks before it changes offers or documents, and marks each file as internal working or external submission.
