How to win a tender contract during the pandemic
As we continue to push through uncertainties that are being presented by the current pandemic, our focus is on consistency in delivering our promise to our current and prospective clients.
The tender process to work with the biggest mall in sub-saharan Africa was quite competitive. Our known track record and determination to deliver our projects in a timely fashion was one of our strengths that worked in our favor during the tender process.
Another effort that came in handy when developing our tendered documents, was costs. During these tough times, pricing for products and services has not been straightforward and easily understandable like one would expect. A lot has to be kept in consideration by all parties involved. Numerous SMEs are feeling the economic pressures heavily, now more than ever before. Surviving through these challenging times and recovering after is all dependent on mutual agreements with current and potential clients.
While competitive costs would seem like a great strategy that worked out for us during this particular tendering process, quality was a key component. As it has always been in every project we have here at Sahihi. The old adages; “ cheap is expensive” or “buy cheap, buy twice” are popular sayings because they hide some truth in them. In our 10 years experience in interior building and construction works, we have redone various types of scammers and cheap contractors jobs who have led clients into spending more money than they budgeted for to get a task or project done well and up to standard.
At Sahihi Interior Builders, Quality, Time and Cost is our promise to every client. In every new project we take, our client is assured of these three. Our secret to maintaining the trust that we have already created is to keep our promise from the beginning to the end of a project.
Thank you Two Rivers by Centum for believing in Sahihi!
