What buyers scan first in your bid

Large evaluation panels rarely read front to back on day one. They look for red flags fast.

Compliance

Unsigned forms, missing appendices, or wrong currency often end the review before technical quality is scored.

Pricing

Arithmetic errors and unclear exclusions create doubt. Cross-check totals and unit rates.

People

Named experts should match the CVs and availability you declare. Mismatches trigger questions.

Fix the scannable items first; then refine narrative.
