If you’re bidding for the first time, it’s a fair question: what should professional tender preparation actually cost, and is it worth paying for?
What Affects Tender Preparation Pricing
- The complexity of the tender and number of required documents
- How much lead time is left before the submission deadline
- Whether statutory or compliance documents still need to be obtained
- Whether you need one-off support or ongoing help across multiple bids
Typical Pricing Ranges
Tender preparation with Prime Tenders starts from KES 6,000 per bid for straightforward tenders. Businesses that bid regularly often move to a monthly retainer instead, which works out more cost-effective than paying per bid.
Is It Worth Paying for Tender Preparation?
Weigh the cost against what a disqualified bid actually costs you: the time spent, the opportunity lost, and — for a contract worth millions — the margin you never got a chance to compete for. For most businesses, professional preparation pays for itself the first time it prevents a disqualification.
