TruBuild gives enterprise procurement teams a governed workspace for each tender package. Commercial, technical, tender query, and chat workflows can be used independently, but they are strongest when they share the same package context, contractor list, documents, and award record. Commercial and technical rounds are tracked separately inside the package so each evaluation team can preserve its own evidence history.

Enterprise workflow map

1. Set up the package

Define the package, currency, contractors, technical/commercial weighting, and access model.

2. Control the documents

Upload RFPs, BOQs, PTEs, contractor proposals, round responses, and query documents into the correct workflow.

3. Evaluate commercial submissions

Run BOQ comparisons, review anomalies, prepare commercial PTCs, and export evidence.

4. Evaluate technical submissions

Manage criteria, score proposals, review clarification impact, and preserve round history.

5. Manage clarifications

Import, assign, draft, approve, send, close, and report tender queries and circulars.

6. Prepare award evidence

Combine commercial, technical, and query evidence into a decision-ready award record.

The package is the center

Each package contains:
ItemPurpose
ContractorsThe bidders being evaluated
Technical weightThe agreed contribution of technical evaluation to award recommendation
Commercial weightThe agreed contribution of commercial evaluation to award recommendation
AssetsCommercial scopes or asset splits used for priced comparisons
DocumentsRFPs, BOQs, PTEs, proposals, PTCs, query imports, and uploaded context
Commercial roundsPackage-level commercial snapshots across submission and clarification cycles
Technical roundsPackage-level technical snapshots across initial and post-clarification cycles
Tender queriesThe register of questions, responses, approvals, duplicates, and circulars
Award fieldsSelected contractor and award comments

Modules

ModulePrimary usersBest used for
Commercial evaluationCommercial managers, QS teams, cost consultantsCompare priced submissions, find exclusions/unpriced scope, and prepare bidder-specific PTCs
Technical evaluationTechnical leads, discipline evaluators, owner engineersScore proposals against criteria and manage clarification-driven re-scoring
Tender queriesProcurement coordinators, package teams, approversRun a controlled query workflow from import through response circular
AI chatAuthorized project usersAsk cited questions over the package and evaluation context
Feature availability is controlled at organization level. If a module is not visible, ask your TruBuild administrator to check the organization’s feature entitlements.

Access model

TruBuild separates users by project and package scope:
  • project_lead and package_lead can coordinate across disciplines.
  • commercial_lead and commercial_team work in commercial workflows.
  • technical_lead and technical_team work in technical workflows.
  • project_viewer and package_viewer can review without editing.
See Roles & permissions for the complete mapping.

Evaluation rhythm

Every evaluation area follows the same review pattern:
1

Prepare

Confirm package setup, contractor list, access, and required documents.
2

Run

Start a commercial comparison, technical scoring run, query draft, or chat analysis.
3

Review

Evaluators inspect the AI output, correct errors, add notes, and prepare clarifications.
4

Clarify

Issue commercial or technical PTCs, import responses, and decide what changes the next round.
5

Approve

Preserve the latest reviewed commercial round and latest reviewed technical round, then use both in the award recommendation.
For a deeper explanation of Round 1, PTC cycles, revised submission rounds, BAFO-style final offers, and award locks, see Rounds and clarifications.
