- Supporting documents, such as certificates, are often gathered at the last minute.
- Presentations to evaluation committees need a professional finish.

Planning checklist
- Read the tender requirements for number of copies, binding and labelling.
- Prepare a checklist of all required supporting documents and confirm each is included.
- Number pages and add dividers if the tender requires a specific order.
- Send final files as PDFs, with signatures and stamps included where required.
- For tender submissions, allow 3 to 7 days and keep same-day for genuine emergencies.
- Allow enough time after printing to deliver the submission before the closing time.
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD. Same-day printing is there for genuine emergencies, but it is not 100% foolproof against poor planning. For important business events on your calendar, please give yourself 3 to 7 days to print.
FAQs
Can you check that our tender is complete?
We print and bind what you supply. Checking completeness against tender requirements remains your responsibility.
Can tender documents be printed and bound the same day?
Often, if files are final and the job is eligible. Same-day is subject to quantity, binding, capacity and payment and approval before the configured cutoff.
Can you deliver our tender submission?
We cannot submit tenders on your behalf. Please plan to collect your documents with enough time to deliver them yourself.
