Seeking comments on an email regarding the tender analysis

I would like to seek someone’s comments on the following email regarding the tender analysis


Dear Mandy

Referring to the comparison of tender results obtained by the Financial Department as shown below, three (3) contractors were invited to quote the replacement work under the same scope of works.

  1. ABC
  2. XYZ
  3. DJ

For the tender interview with both lowest bidders on 19 Dec 2022, we have four team members including Peter, Ivan, Ian, and Sam, partaking in the interview and making the following comments on the technical aspects of the generator off-load test.

  1. Manpower arrangement for each generator off-load test
  2. Emergency call-out services
  3. Troubleshooting Capability

Although XYZ’s company was NOT the lowest bidder in this tender, we concluded the performance of XYZ’s company was better than ABC’s company according to the technical review.

Finally, it is recommended that XYZ's company shall be awarded this tender in terms of the company's resources, capability, and scale. We would like to seek your approval.

If that is normal language in your field, OK, but I might make it "the following three … scope of works:" Ben9108 For the tender interview with both lowest bidders on 19 Dec 2022, we have four team members including Peter, Ivan, Ian, and Sam, partaking in the interview and making the following comments on the technical aspects of the generator off-load test.

  • I'm not sure I understand your time frame.
  • The four team members don't include those four men, they are those four men.
  • "Partake in" (which is wrong in any event) or "partake of" for "take part in" is an all-too-common mistake.
