Contract Period: [DURATION]
Procurement Route: [ROUTE, e.g., Framework mini-competition / Open tender / Negotiated]

Our Company Context:
- Sector experience: [DESCRIBE, e.g., Strong education sector portfolio, 12 schools in last 5 years]

Key Concerns or Risks:
[LIST ANY CONCERNS, e.g., Tight programme, contaminated land flagged in site investigation, novated design team we have not worked with before]

Produce a bid/no-bid assessment with:

1. Opportunity Summary (1 paragraph)
2. Scoring Matrix — score each factor 1-5 (1 = poor, 5 = excellent) with justification:
   a. Strategic fit (does this align with our business plan and target sectors?)
   b. Client relationship (existing relationship, repeat business potential?)
   c. Project type and complexity (do we have proven capability?)
   d. Geographic fit (proximity to our offices and supply chain?)
   e. Competition (how many bidders, who are they, what is our win probability?)
   f. Resource availability (do we have estimating and delivery capacity?)
   g. Programme and timing (is the programme realistic, does it clash with other commitments?)
   h. Risk profile (are the risks manageable and proportionate?)
   i. Commercial terms (contract form, payment terms, retention, bonds, LDs — are they acceptable?)
   j. Margin opportunity (is there a realistic prospect of achieving target margin?)
   k. Design status (how developed is the design, is there scope risk?)
   l. Supply chain (do we have suitable subcontractors and suppliers?)
3. Total Score and RAG Rating (Red / Amber / Green thresholds)
4. Key risks if we bid
5. Key risks if we don't bid
6. Recommendation: BID / NO-BID / BID WITH CONDITIONS
7. Conditions or actions required before tender submission (if applicable)

Present the matrix as a clear table. Provide honest, balanced assessment.
