Pre-Award Commercial Risk Review

QS-led, document-based, fixed-scope commercial review for MENA construction project teams. Not legal, engineering, or expert-witness advice.

Before contractor appointment, a project team should understand the commercial risks sitting inside the quotation, tender, BOQ, scope documents, exclusions, assumptions, and clarification records. RFQS prepares a document-based pre-award commercial review to help structure the main issues before commitment.

Typical Deliverables

  • Pre-award commercial risk summary
  • Clarification schedule
  • Scope and pricing issue notes
  • Exclusions and assumptions review
  • Practical commercial observations

FIDIC POSTURE

Factual reference layer

Where the project is governed by a FIDIC contract, RFQS makes factual reference to relevant sub-clauses — for example 1.5 (Priority of Documents), 4.11 (Sufficiency of the Accepted Contract Amount), 13.5 (Provisional Sums), and 20.1/20.2 (Notice of Claims). RFQS organises commercial information; the Engineer determines under 3.5/3.7. All RFQS outputs are decision-support, never contractual interpretation.

RELIANCE LIMITS

RFQS outputs are document-based decision-support, not certification. The client remains solely responsible for final project decisions. Reliance is limited to the documents provided at the time of review. RFQS does not warrant completeness of third-party documents, contractor performance, claim entitlement, dispute outcome, or final project cost.

DATA SECURITY

All client documents transfer over encrypted channels. Documents are retained for 90 days after engagement closure, then permanently deleted. A deletion confirmation is available on request. Documents remain available for download throughout the retention window.

PAYMENT RAILS

RFQS accepts payment via Western Union, USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20), or local representative arrangement. Lebanon clients: USDT or Western Union preferred. UAE, KSA and Qatar clients: Western Union or local representative arrangement.

ENGAGEMENT DISCIPLINE

RFQS engages a maximum of one EXTENDED engagement at any one time, to protect delivery quality. Engagement timing is confirmed before fee acceptance. STANDARD and LITE engagements run in parallel subject to capacity.
