DIRECT ANSWERCompare vessel bids on the same controlled datasheet and scope, then log deviations in design basis, material, inspection, documents, bought-out items, delivery and exclusions. Clarification should resolve technical comparability before commercial ranking.
Bid comparison fields
- Document revision and design assumptions
- Material and pressure-boundary configuration
- NDE, tests, ITP and dossier
- Accessories, packing, freight and schedule exclusions
Relevant manufacturing capability
- Drawing, datasheet and equipment-list manufacturability review
- Self-manufactured and coordinated-supply scope identification
- Technical, quality, document and delivery clarification
Key notes
- A lower price with missing inspection or scope is not a like-for-like offer.
