Bid comparison
Make supplier bids comparable line by line.
Tenderhub converts differently structured bids into one comparison. Items, units, quantities, unit rates and qualifications remain linked to their source.
Why this workflow matters
The lowest total is rarely the complete answer
Subcontractors use their own structures, combine items and attach conditions to scope. Comparing totals alone hides exclusions, quantity changes and unpriced work.
Workflow
From incoming bids to a defensible comparison
- 01
Read the bids
PDF and Excel bids are processed together with the reference BoQ while original descriptions and sources remain traceable.
- 02
Match items
Equivalent and similar scope is mapped to the reference structure. Uncertain matches are marked for review.
- 03
Explain differences
Tenderhub highlights missing items, changed quantities, different units, alternatives and textual qualifications.
- 04
Export the comparison
The result becomes a structured table for award decisions, clarifications and downstream estimating.
What the comparison exposes
- Unit rates and totals per item
- Missing or partially included scope
- Quantity and unit deviations
- Price outliers and matches requiring review
Every match has a review status
Automated matches include context. Ambiguous items are not silently accepted; they are clearly marked for expert approval.

One reference BoQ and two differently structured bids are enough to evaluate the workflow on a realistic case.
