Where our responsibility ends
We do not guarantee award: that decision belongs to the contracting authority. Guarantees are issued by banks and insurers; mandatory legal representation is provided by licensed attorneys we coordinate; tax and corporate conclusions come from licensed advisers.
Compliant File Guarantee: if your bid is declared inadmissible or non-compliant because of a formal error attributable to us in a document we prepared, you choose a 100% refund of the documentation fee in cash within 15 days or a 150% credit for 12 months; where it has reasonable prospects, we also draft the CNSC complaint free of charge. Exclusions are set out in our terms of engagement.

Fees
Go/No-Go memo
from €2,400
Fee: snapshot free (fair use: 4 a month per company without a mandate). Go/No-Go memo €2,400 (procedures up to €1.5M) or €3,900 (above €1.5M), credited 100% if you order the complete file within 10 working days. Due diligence report €4,900 / €8,900 / €14,900 (up to €1.5M / €1.5–7.5M / above €7.5M), credited 50% against the documentation fee. Retainers include memos by tier.
Indicative fees; we confirm a fixed-fee written proposal after reviewing the tender documents. Preferential terms apply to retainers, multi-lot procedures and returning clients.
07
Questions
Should we bid alone, in a consortium or as a subcontractor?
It depends on the qualification thresholds, the attestations required and your delivery model. The Go/No-Go memo recommends a structure, and we build the file so that each member covers exactly what it must.
In what currency do we price?
Usually in RON, excluding VAT, as the data sheet sets. Some procedures, notably those financed by international lenders, are priced in EUR.
How long from submission to contract?
It varies with the procedure, the number of bids and any complaints, which can add weeks. The invitation to sign comes after the standstill period. We give you a realistic timeline in the Go/No-Go memo.
How quickly can you start on a live tender?
Immediately after the conflict check and the NDA, usually within one working day. When a deadline is already running, the Go/No-Go and the document vault run in parallel from day one. With fewer than 7 working days left, an urgency surcharge applies.

How we work
- One accountable bid manager, working in English
Romanian procedures are conducted in Romanian. We write the Romanian file and give you an English working version of everything you are asked to approve.
- You approve every commercial value
We are accountable for compliance, for coherence between the qualification, technical and financial parts, and for on-time delivery into the platform.
- No promises we cannot keep
We do not guarantee award; that decision belongs to the contracting authority. We never claim or imply any influence over an authority or its evaluators.
- Conflict-of-interest screening before every mandate
We never advise a bidder on a procedure in which we have worked for the authority, and never work for two competing bidders on the same procedure or lot.
- Confidentiality first
We sign an NDA before any documentation is exchanged. Your documents are kept in an access-controlled space and used only for your mandate.
- Licensed professionals where the law requires them
Licensed attorneys provide legal representation, coordinated by us. Authorised professionals provide sworn translations, notarisations and apostilles. Banks and insurers issue guarantees.
- Third-party disbursements
Bank, insurer, official, notary and courier fees are re-invoiced at cost, without mark-up. External specialists we contract for you carry a 10% coordination fee (at cost if you contract them directly); sworn translations are charged at our published per-page rates. Any item above €500, or more than €2,000 in a month, is incurred only after your written approval.
- Romanian time
Platform deadlines run on Bucharest time. We plan signature windows around your time zone and upload at least 24 hours before the deadline.
- Fees
Indicative fees; we confirm a fixed-fee written proposal after reviewing the tender documents. Preferential terms apply to retainers, multi-lot procedures and returning clients.
