A quick compliance checklist before you submit

Use this to reduce avoidable rejections and last-minute panic.

Looking for the full checklist?

This is the quick-reference version. For the comprehensive 50+ point checklist covering mandatory documents, formatting, content validation, and post-submission verification, see the complete tender compliance checklist.

The fast checklist

  1. Confirm deadlines (timezone, portal cut-off, clarification deadline)
  2. Check pass/fail requirements (insurances, certifications, declarations)
  3. Validate word/character limits (per question, per section)
  4. List mandatory attachments (policies, pricing schedules, case studies)
  5. Match naming conventions (file names, versioning, signed documents)
  6. Portal formatting (tables, bullets, plain text vs rich text)
  7. Cross-check references (e.g. “see Appendix 3” actually exists)
  8. Final consistency pass (dates, figures, terminology)

If you want an external evaluator-style check, a bid audit is usually the fastest route.
