Unsuccessful tenders should be analysed to establish the cause of them failing to be awarded the work and help to avoid future failures.

Ensuring a consistent separation of duties between those involved in the preparation of tenders and those involved in the planning of projects.

Ensuring that the minimum legal wage is paid to all workers on the construction sites.

In order to ensure the maximum chance of winning the contract, tenders always commit W to completing the work at the lowest possible price and in the shortest possible time.

Contract terms should be worded precisely so that additional work is not deemed to form part of the contract.

The project steering committee and project board should receive regular project status reports.
