Why structure a plan from the start?
A technical proposal without a clear plan loses points before being read. The evaluator searches for information, can't find it, and penalises. Conversely, a plan that follows the RC sub-criteria order makes scoring easier and gains points.
- The buyer immediately finds each scored criterion.
- You show a rigorous reading of the tender package and rules.
- You limit omissions (safety, environment, references…).
- You capitalise: the template becomes reusable across tenders.
- You make pre-submission cross-review easier.
The 9-part standard plan
Each part addresses one (or several) RC sub-criteria. The order can be adapted to match the exact order of the tender rules.
1. Company presentation
Establish credibility and solidity.
- •History, key figures (revenue, headcount, age).
- •General org chart and locations.
- •Certifications (ISO 9001/14001/45001, equivalents).
- •Headline references (without detail, repeated in part 8).
2. Project understanding
Prove the tender package was read and understood.
- •Restatement of the client's stakes.
- •Site constraints (access, neighbours, co-activity, environment).
- •Risks identified in the specs and drawings.
- •Technical risks and planned mitigation.
3. Execution methodology
Demonstrate technical mastery of the project.
- •General and detailed phasing.
- •Work methods for the main tasks.
- •Justified technical choices (materials, equipment).
- •Interface management with the other lots.
4. Human resources
Commit a named team, not a list of titles.
- •Project org chart with photos.
- •CV of each key person in the annex.
- •Time allocation per person.
- •Site management (foreman, project manager, engineers).
5. Material resources
Prove the capacity to mobilise the required resources.
- •List of equipment allocated to the project (age, condition).
- •Planned subcontractors (with up-to-date certificates).
- •Suppliers and co-contractors identified.
- •Supply logistics and storage.
6. Project schedule
Propose a credible, justified, milestoned schedule.
- •Gantt chart by phase.
- •Justification of durations (m²/day, lm/team ratios).
- •Milestones and control points.
- •Contingency management and buffers.
7. HSE and environmental approach
Address an increasingly decisive criterion.
- •Site safety plan tailored to the project.
- •Waste management (% recycled, traceability).
- •Environmental performance (kg CO₂, energy, low-carbon materials).
- •CSR commitments (inclusion, local sourcing).
8. Similar references
Reassure with proof of comparable past projects.
- •3 to 5 recent projects (under 5 years).
- •Comparable in size, complexity and typology.
- •Photos, contract value, duration, client and contact.
- •A few words on the outcome achieved.
9. Annexes
Group supporting documents without bloating the body.
- •Certificates (tax, social, insurance).
- •Datasheets of key equipment and materials.
- •Site safety plan, site layout drawing.
- •Detailed CVs and certifications.
Typical criteria weightings
In most public works tenders, technical value counts for 40% to 60% of the total score. Here are the most common weightings per sub-criterion:
| RC sub-criterion | Typical weighting | Plan part |
|---|---|---|
| Execution methodology | 25 – 35% | Part 3 |
| Human and material resources | 15 – 25% | Parts 4 & 5 |
| Schedule | 10 – 20% | Part 6 |
| Environmental approach & CSR | 10 – 25% | Part 7 |
| Safety (site safety plan) | 10 – 15% | Part 7 + annexes |
| References | 5 – 15% | Part 8 |
Indicative weightings : always refer to the RC of the specific tender.
Get the full template and capitalise
The plan above is usable as-is. But what really saves time is building an internal library where each reusable part (company presentation, certifications, generic HSE approach) lives in one place. Project-specific parts (project understanding, named team, schedule, work methods) are written case by case.
This is exactly what Breek automates: analysis of tender documents and drawings, requirement extraction, content suggestions from your library, and generation of a first structured version that the expert validates and refines.
