Where it goes wrong.
Critical requirements, changes and responsibilities are easy to miss in complex bid packages.
Requirements, exclusions and conditions are buried across contracts, specifications and amendments.

Common questions
What is a pre-award commercial review?
A read of the whole bid package before the price is locked: the agreement, general and supplementary conditions, specifications and addenda. Halozen lists every requirement, amendment and scope gap, cited to clause and page, so your team can price, qualify or carry each risk knowingly.
What does Halozen look for in a bid package?
The terms that carry money: notice clocks, liquidated damages, retainage and payment conditions, changes the supplementary conditions make to the standard form, requirements that name no party, rules that make a bid non-responsive, and what each addendum changes.
Does Halozen price the job?
No. Halozen reads the documents and shows where each requirement is. Your estimators decide what to price, qualify or carry.
Does the review include addenda?
Yes. Addenda are read together with the documents they change, so you can see what each one adds, deletes or replaces.
What do we need to upload for a pre-award review?
Copies of the bid package as issued: the agreement and conditions, specifications and every addendum. Nothing to install and no system access.
