This role included both tender preparation for PBA and bid appraisal work for the end client Virador. The
tender preparation strand involved challenging the assumptions supporting the tender and creating

several major issues with all three tenderers and in conjunction with other non-compliancy issues from
other assessment teams led to a re-bid situation. His team redrafted bid forms to ensure greater clarity
