- Risk Assessment: Highlight restrictive clauses, heavy penalty conditions, or unachievable timelines during the initial tender review.

2. Pre-Bid Phase & Clarifications

- Document Parsing: Thoroughly read and analyze the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) and Tender Document to map out all technical, financial, and legal submission requirements.
