Applications of proactive risk management during the bidding stage from a Contractor’s Perspective

During the bidding stage, contractors are often required to review a substantial volume of tender documents in a very limited timeframe. The ability to identify, assess, and manage risks proactively at this stage has a decisive impact on both bidding success and project profitability.

This webinar introduces a structured Risk Framework for Contractors during the Bidding Stage, designed to help participants systematically identify risk sources, locate corresponding contractual clauses under the FIDIC suite of contracts, and analyse the allocation of each risk between the Employer and the Contractor. By integrating contract analysis with risk management principles, the session demonstrates how proactive risk identification can directly inform pricing strategy, bid decisions, and negotiation priorities.

Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, the webinar equips contractors and project managers with the tools and methodology to automate part of the risk review process, enhance decision-making efficiency, and ultimately reduce exposure to contractual and operational risks.
